Southern Highlands Wellness Gatherings

Welcome - Southern Highlands Wellness Gatherings — a living, growing circle of heart-centered practitioners, businesses, and services dedicated to wellbeing.

 This community was born from a simple belief:
Wellness flourishes best when we walk together. 

Connections

Gather. Share. Flourish.

Hosted by the Natural Therapies Expo, the SH Wellness Gatherings are here to nurture genuine connections, collaborative support, and mutual inspiration — not just once a year, but throughout the seasons.

We are a gathering of:

  • natural therapies practitioners, 
  • wellness businesses, 
  • holistic healers, and 
  • kindred spirits who believe that by sharing our knowledge, kindness, and strengths, we all grow stronger together.

Our Heart Values

Kindness before competition

Kindness before competition

Kindness before competition

 We believe that every act of kindness strengthens our community.
By choosing to support, encourage, and uplift one another, we create a space where everyone can thrive — together. 

Collaboration over isolation

Kindness before competition

Kindness before competition

 We believe we are stronger when we come together.
Through sharing ideas, skills, and opportunities, we create a thriving community that lifts every voice and every dream. 

Integrity in all that we do

Kindness before competition

Celebration of each other's unique gifts

 We believe in walking our talk — with honesty, respect, and care.
Integrity is the foundation of trust, and trust is the foundation of true community. 

Celebration of each other's unique gifts

Celebration of each other's unique gifts

Celebration of each other's unique gifts

 We believe every person brings something special to the whole.
By celebrating each other’s talents, we create a richer, more vibrant community where everyone feels seen and valued. 

A shared commitment

Celebration of each other's unique gifts

Presence over perfection

 We believe our work ripples outward.
By caring for each other and those we serve, we help to build a healthier, more compassionate world beyond ourselves. 

Presence over perfection

Celebration of each other's unique gifts

Presence over perfection

 We believe that showing up as we are is enough.
True connection grows from authenticity, not perfection — and every step taken with sincerity enriches the whole.

Monthly Gatherings

Join Us for Our Monthly Meetups

 We meet, once a month during school hours at the peaceful 

Samadhi Centre in Braemar.
Our gatherings are picnic-style meetups, with tea, coffee, and light snacks provided.
There’s no cost to attend — though, a donation is appreciated, but not required, with all proceeds going to the Lotus Hearts Buddhist Institute.
Weather permitting, we gather outside under open skies; if needed, we move indoors to a calm and welcoming space.

What to Expect

  🌿 A warm welcome — Smiles, tea, coffee, and easy conversation.
🌿 Real connection — No screens, no sales, just genuine people.
🌿 Relaxed rhythm — Stay as long or as little as you like.
🌿 New friendships — Cross paths with kindred spirits and future collaborators. 

An inviting outdoor Exchange Table with a  donations sign, flowers, business cards, and flyers.

Exchange Table

 As part of our picnic gatherings, we invite you to visit the Exchange Table — a simple space dedicated to sharing.

You're welcome to leave your business cards, flyers, or small brochures here, so fellow community members can discover more about your services at their own pace.

This is a gentle, open way to connect — no pitches, no pressure — just an opportunity to plant seeds of future collaborations and friendships.

Feel free to browse, take what resonates, and leave behind a little piece of what you offer to the world.
