Mystery and Mayhem Retreat
Journeys We've Shared
Each She Journeys retreat is thoughtfully designed to bring women together through shared experiences, meaningful connection, and time away from the everyday.
This page offers a glimpse into the journeys we’ve already shared. The laughter, the conversations, and the memories created along the way. Many women arrive not knowing anyone, and leave feeling deeply connected and supported.
Onyx Storm Luxury Retreat
Our very first She Journeys retreat was a fun fantasy filled weekend at the enchanting Spicers Hidden Vale, QLD. Guests packed their flight leathers and enjoyed a 2 night getaway full of adventure, and of course, dragons!

Booked for Lunch
Booked for Lunch is a harbour-side celebration of books, friendship, and the joy of storytelling, a one-day literary experience designed for readers who crave meaningful conversation, beautiful surroundings, and unforgettable bookish moments.
Set against the stunning backdrop of 12-Micron, Barangaroo, this pastel-toned daytime soirée brought together readers and four much-loved Australian authors - Pip Drysdale, Rachael Johns, Ashley Kalagian Blunt, and Hayley Scrivenor, for an inspiring day of conversation, creativity, and connection.
Guests enjoyed engaging panels, intimate author moments, and immersive storytelling experiences, all wrapped in a beautifully curated atmosphere that celebrated community, creativity, and the love of reading.
More than an event, Booked for Lunch was a shared experience, a space where stories came alive, friendships were formed, and readers were reminded of the magic found between the pages.
