Do you own or work in a Holistic Business, a business that uplifts the planet?
Would you like to meet up with like-minded women?
Would you like to share in a whole new feminine model of business networking that involves fun, playful sharing and powerful business results?

After attending many different types of business networking groups, I was left uninspired by all the aggressive pitching, selling and pressure.

I have felt called to create a new type of Holistic Networking for women, where we come together at the full moon, to really connect and share, our businesses, our lives and our hearts. Let's unwind and recharge as we head into the Christmas season.

In addition to amazing women, there will be tea and refreshments, a full moon ritual and crystal grid will be offered on the night. Plus this is an opportunity to come and check out Rose Cottage Wellness Centre........a new wellness space in Point Chevalier.

Please invite as many women as you know who may be interested, let's get this off the ground and start creating some magic!

Please bring something to share and something warm as we may be outside.

Koha between $10-$20 appreciated.
