Womenhood

Sanctuary

Sacred land. Resident healers. A living community where women are tended at the centre of everything — and something in every woman already knows this place exists.

The Vision

A place where women
come alive again

Womenhood Sanctuary is not a retreat. It is a return. A living commune set on sacred land north of Sydney — warm air, food grown from the earth, resident healers, and a community built to hold women at every stage of their unfolding.

Sacred spaces for art, ceremony, music, healing, and stillness. A kitchen garden that feeds the community. Evening fires under open sky. Shared meals, shared stories, shared purpose. A pace of life so grounded that your nervous system finally exhales.

Women are tended at the centre — always. Partners and husbands are warmly welcomed alongside them, subject to full background screening. No criminal history. No history of domestic abuse. That line is never compromised — because the safety of this space is what makes everything else possible.

This is not a retreat.
This is a return.
The place your body already knows —
and your soul has been searching for.

Wendy Gilbert-Grey  ·  Founder
“A place that feels warm all the time. Where the air is clear, the food grows from the ground, and women can finally stop running — and simply be.”
— Wendy Gilbert-Grey, Founder
The Land

North of Sydney —
warm, fertile, and alive

Climate

A climate that feels like permission. Warm through every season — clear air that does something to the body the moment you arrive.

Food

Rich soil and a thriving kitchen garden. Vegetables, herbs, and fruit grown year-round. The community feeds itself from the land it lives on.

Bungalows

Private bungalow accommodation — yours completely. Warm, beautiful, quiet. Your own space within the beating heart of the community.

Fire Pit

An open fire at the centre of the grounds. Evening gatherings under the stars — storytelling, song, and the ancient medicine of being together in the dark.

Event Hall

A grand hall purpose-built for ceremony, seminar, festival, and gathering. Big enough to hold a movement. Intimate enough to feel sacred.

Location

North of Sydney. Close enough to reach within hours — far enough to feel like an entirely different world. The distance is part of the medicine.

The Spaces

Every room built
for women to thrive

Art Studio

A sunlit space for painting, sculpture, and creative expression in all its forms.

Healing Room

Private one-on-one sessions with resident healers — energy work, bodywork, and therapeutic guidance.

Event Hall

A grand gathering space for seminars, ceremonies, workshops, festivals, and sacred circles.

Boarding Rooms

Warm, private rooms for women arriving to stay — peaceful, safe, and beautifully kept.

Senator Suites

Premium private suites for extended stays, retreats, and women who wish to arrive in full comfort.

Jewellery Atelier

A dedicated workshop for handcrafting jewellery — tools, materials, and creative mentorship on hand.

Fashion & Styling Room

A space for personal styling, dressing up, and creative expression through the language of clothing.

Kitchen & Communal Dining

The heart of the sanctuary. Fresh produce from the garden, shared meals, and the nourishment of community.

Garden & Greenhouse

A thriving kitchen garden — growing food with care, connecting women to the earth and the seasons.

Preservation Room

Ancient wisdom, modern practice. Fermenting, pickling, and preserving food naturally — without cold or heat.

Music Room

Instruments, sound healing, song, and the deeply human medicine of music and voice.

Library & Reading Nook

A quiet sanctuary within the sanctuary — books, journals, and space for deep, unhurried reflection.

Ceremony Space

A sacred room for meditation, ritual, and ceremony — where women gather in stillness and intention.

Fire Pit & Grounds

Evening gatherings under open skies — storytelling, song, starlight, and the ancient warmth of fire and community.

Programs & Events

What happens
at the sanctuary

From intimate weekly circles to grand annual festivals — the sanctuary is always alive, always full of healing, learning, and the profound energy of women in their power.

Weekly

Healing Circles

Intimate, fierce, and real. A circle where women say what they have never been able to say — and are witnessed without judgement. The most powerful medicine on the property.

Monthly

Courses & Masterclasses

Deep teaching from women at the top of their craft — energy medicine, creative mastery, nutrition, business, numerology. The kind of learning that changes your trajectory permanently.

Quarterly

Seminars & Workshops

Immersive days that go somewhere most rooms are afraid to go. Transformation that lands in the body, not just the mind. You will not leave the same person.

Annually

Festivals

Multi-day celebrations of womanhood — music, art, fire, ceremony, food, and the full intoxicating joy of a community that is completely alive. The most extraordinary weekend of your year.

Ongoing

Founding Gatherings

Open days, launch events, and awareness gatherings that grow the movement and welcome each new wave of women home. These are the moments the sanctuary announces itself to the world.

By arrangement

Private Retreats

Custom retreats for groups who are ready for something extraordinary — corporate, spiritual, or deeply personal. Led by Wendy and the resident practitioners. No two alike.

How It Works

Community
by contribution

Womenhood Sanctuary is built on a foundation of mutual care — not charity, but genuine community. Every woman who arrives contributes in the way she is able, so that the sanctuary can continue to serve the next woman who needs it.

Women arriving on government benefits are warmly welcomed, and asked to contribute 50% of their fortnightly allowance toward their stay — in return for a private room, three meals a day, and full access to everything the sanctuary offers.

Those with greater means are invited to give more generously — so that those with less may always have a place here.

Included in your stay

Private room in the sanctuary

Three nourishing meals daily from the kitchen garden

Access to all sanctuary spaces and programs

Participation in healing circles and events

Complimentary Soul Report from soulreport.app

Community, sisterhood, and belonging

Coming soon — made possible by your generosity

On-site dental and health check-ups — planned as patron contributions and donations grow. Your investment today makes this a reality tomorrow.

Women on government benefits contribute 50% of their fortnightly allowance. All other stays are priced according to means — no woman is ever turned away for lack of funds.
