Women are better together. This in-person one-day experience creates space and time for honest conversations, new ideas, laughter and connection. This is a space for women to be seen and nourished, without the pressure to care for anyone else.
- Start outside amongst the trees for a powerful Welcome and Little Long Walk.
- Go deep with new friends quickly, in our impromptu networking workshop.
- Engage in a crafting workshop.
- Enjoy a cuppa.
- Celebrate the shared experiences of being a woman through stories and experiences from an individual lens of identity.
Join a fishbowl conversation on topics that matter to you:
- Making and maintaining friendships;
- Hot flush anyone? Women's health;
- Women supporting and leading treaty;
- Women and housing;
- Parenting in a tech-saturated world
- Women's leadership
And finish with an evening of celebration and music amongst the native garden.
You’ll leave feeling nourished, inspired, and reminded that you’re not doing life alone.
This is for women from every community - whether you’re in the workforce or not, a mother, single, retired, or building your career.
Bring every facet of who you are, share your experiences, listen deeply, and build your network - your village of support.
YARNING | Background
It started with a yarn...
Better Together® has existed for nearly a decade as a gathering for members of the Rainbow community. In recent years, The Equality Project has been approached by community organisations and leaders, wondering how we could share the Better Together model with other cohorts of people who also seek connection and knowledge-sharing.
The first of these to come to life is Better Together Women, a new gathering co-designed and led by The Equality Project® and The Long Walk.
It went like this: The teams were yarning. Marnie and TJ had come back from a day in conversation with a group of diverse women on the Women for Election’s advisory council. Their cups were overflowing.
Leanne recalled feeling similarly at the Long Walk Women’s Lunch, an event that once ran every year in honour of the female original walkers on The Long Walk, and the group of women who walked from Melbourne to Geelong in solidarity. The lunch was for women from all walks of life. It felt joyful, and there was always a lot of laughter. Leanne missed it, and Jenaya wished she'd been able to go.
Better Together Women was born out of a deep desire by two organisations to nourish women, those who do so much for others, with a day that’s just for us.
