What we’re about
Welcome to the most rewarding group in the MEETUP community. The purpose of this group is to organise events where we can make the world a better place together.
Events like "Plogging", "Clothes Swaps/Donations", maybe a community meal... Am open to ideas! Please message me. Our mission is to PAY IT FORWARD & spread kindness throughout AUSTRALIA.
I (Jonni) am based in Wollongong, however I will organise some events in Sydney and surrounding areas. I'd also LOVE some help, if anyone from other states would like to volunteer as an organiser, we can spread kindness across AUSTRALIA!

- DIY WELLNESS RETREAT 🪷 Flynns Beach ⛱️ Port MacquariePort Macquarie, NSW, Port Macquarie, NSWA$150.00
Join our small group for a DIY wellness retreat in beautiful Port Macquarie!
This isn't your typical retreat; the idea is collaboration; each attendee contributes an hour session over the weekend.
What are your passions &/or strengths? Could you lead a yoga 🧘♀️ class, guide us on a hike, teach us arts and crafts?
Beyond the joy of learning new things, this retreat embraces the profound wellness benefits of giving. Studies have shown that contributing to the well-being of others significantly boosts your own mental health.

Cost: $150 per person (for weekend accommodation).
Contribution: Your commitment to leading a 1-hour session for the group.
Travel: Port Macquarie is approximately a 4-hour drive from Sydney. We'll coordinate carpooling for those who want to drive up together. If you'd like a lift in my car, we'll split the petrol costs.
My personal contribution will be aqua yoga stretch and a Stoic Philosophy session. I am super excited to learn what you have to contribute 😃✨️🩵 for more information, give me a call 📞 on 0416 147 804.
WHAT TO BRING: This will depend on the wellness agenda we end up with based on our cohort.
So far,
- swimsuit, yoga mat
- Stoic Philosophy book (one of the classics, I have copies, and available free online)
- Disclose dietary requirements before we go
