Do you have a question?
Wise Women Gathering is organised by Hollie Wildëthorn from the Institute for Self Crafting.
There is a single person behind everything you see here, supported by a community of incredible women. Everything you see here, represents a community who have come together over almost a decade of meaning-full events. We are all in this together.
When is it held?
3rd weekend in May (or the weekend after Mother's Day), every year - Friday to Sunday, with optional early arrival upgrade for Thursday, and late stay on Sunday evening.
Where is it held?
Webb's Creek, 90 minutes north of Sydney
How do I get tickets?
They go on sale in July (early bird) and are released in brackets throughout the year, until last call on the 1st May. With each release the price increases.
I can’t find the application form for Educators and I really want to contribute to your gathering. Can I still put myself forward?
If Educator Applications have closed for the year, there is no way to apply. Please come back next year. Any email requests of this nature will be ignored.
I can’t come now. Can I get a refund?
Fees are fully refundable with a processing fee of $50 until January 10th, and 50% refundable until April 1. After April 1, there will be no refunds. Registration can be transferred at any time to a woman of your choice.
