Women's Workshop Series into Authenticity & Internal Trust

### The Return: A Four-Week Immersion into Authenticity & Internal Trust Thursday evenings across June #### How much of who you are today is *you*, and how much is a collection of "shoulds," "musts," and the quiet habit of people-pleasing? Join us for a dedicated **four-week immersion** designed to help you peel back the layers of societal conditioning and rediscover the internal voice that has been waiting to be heard. This isn’t about becoming someone new; it’s about **The Return**—stripping away the masks and learning to trust your own internal wisdom: honouring yourself, distinguishing your yes's from your no's, & reclaiming true rest. #### **What to expect:** Over four Thursday evenings, you will join the same group of women to explore: * *The Authentic Self*: Identifying unhelpful habits and conditioning that keeps us small * *Somatic Release*: Gentle yin yoga and movement * *Sacred Circle*: The power of being seen and held in a community of like-minded women * *Inner Inquiry:* Reflection through curated journal prompts to bridge the gap between your mind and heart *Inclusions:* * *Guided workshop series designed and guided by clinical psychologist & yoga instructor, Dr Zac Elizabeth Buchanan* * *Nibbles & tea to nourish each evening* * *Connection with like-minded women* * *Take home journal and goodies* #### **Is this for me?** The Return welcomes women of all ages and stages of life. Whether you are navigating a major transition—such as **motherhood, career change, perimenopause, or retirement**—or simply feel a quiet pull to deepen your self-awareness, you are welcome here. #### **The Details:** * *When:* Thursday evenings (June 4, 11, 18, 25) * *Time:* 7pm - 9pm * *Where:* A cosy, boutique studio in Balwyn North (precise location provided upon RSVP) * **Please note - a commitment to all 4 Thursdays is required.** #### **Investment:** * $310 (+ booking fee) - tickets: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/the-return-a-4-week-womens-workshop-series-tickets-1988474174785 * EFT available to avoid booking fee - please email hello @ drzacelizabeth.com #### **Spaces are limited to keep the circle intimate and deeply held. I would love to see you there** ♥ [Claim your spot](https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/the-return-a-4-week-womens-workshop-series-tickets-1988474174785)! > **A Note on the Nature of Our Space:** While this series is facilitated by a clinical psychologist and explores psychological concepts, it is a wellness-focused immersion and is **not a substitute for clinical therapy.** It is intended to complement any personal work you may be doing elsewhere. We invite you to join us for communal growth and somatic reflection, ensuring you have the appropriate professional support in place for any acute clinical mental health needs. ####

Find Your Personality Match - Make Friends (Age group: 25-45))

🌟 **A new one-on-one, personality-based connection experience** Many of you have been asking about structured events and if I’d ever bring them back. Well… here it is - a new version, more intentional, and built around something I care about : **matching people based on personality.** Over the years, I’ve seen how hard it can be to find people you truly click with as adults. Small talk goes nowhere, and most events don’t give you the space for real conversation. 💫 **What to Expect** This is not speed dating, and it’s not a big mixer. It’s a curated, one-on-one connection experience where you’ll meet a few people who’ve been matched to you based on personality and vibe. Expect: * A cosy, comfortable venue * A hosted structure so you’re never left awkwardly standing around * A series of guided one-on-one conversations * A relaxed atmosphere where you can genuinely be yourself * This is not dating focused event, there will be a seperate one for dating Each conversation is designed to feel natural — because the match is based on compatibility Get your tickets here - https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/1989134570045?aff=oddtdtcreator 🧭 **Before the Event** Once you get your Eventbrite ticket, you’ll receive a **short personality test (If you have already taken the test at a previous event you don't need to do it again)**. It takes only a few minutes but helps us understand your communication style, energy, and compatibility factors. This is how we curate meaningful one-on-one pairings for the event. 🌿 **Come Join Us** If you’re tired of small talk and ready to meet people who truly fit your personality, this is for you. A warm, intentional space created for deeper conversations and genuine chemistry - whether it becomes friendship, something romantic, or just a surprisingly great chat. RSVP now — spots are kept limited to ensure quality one-on-one time.
