Meet Your Facilitators

The work we share is not something we invented overnight. It has been walked, practiced, apprenticed and embodied over many years... learn more about us below

Naomi apprenticed under and worked alongside Gypsy Willow Artemis in cacao ceremony, circle facilitation, blessingways, transformative breathwork, ecstatic dance and medicine drum crafting. That mentorship shaped the foundation of how she now holds space.

She has also trained with One Tribe Shamanic Healing, Mette’s Institute for Kahuna & Lomi Lomi bodywork, completed her Shamanic Reiki Master training, and carries years of experience as the owner of Crystal Arcana in Newtown — holding space for community, ritual and spiritual education.

Her path began much earlier. As a child she was immersed in crafts, leadership training through Girl Guides, and a deep fascination with magic, fairies and the esoteric. That imagination matured into yoga, tarot, shamanism and pagan practices eventually becoming the embodied ceremonial work she now offers.

Alongside her spiritual training, Naomi brings a corporate background as a business analyst advising high-profile companies. This balance of intuition and structure allows her to teach ceremony in a way that is both mystical and grounded, creative, yet practical.

Her favourite spaces to hold are earth altars, drum journeys, medicine drum crafting, conscious connection experiences and blessingway ceremonies.

Sunshine’s path into ceremony has been shaped through a deep love of people, learning and the transformative power of shared experience.

Her work centres around guiding inner journeys and creating spaces where people can soften, reconnect and explore the deeper layers of themselves. Through breathwork, cacao and intentional gathering, she supports participants to move through reflection, release and remembrance.

Sunshine trained under Gypsy Willow Artemis and learned through lived experience the art of holding circle, facilitating breathwork journeys and guiding ceremonial spaces with care and integrity.

She has also completed breathwork training with Karina Kalilah and holds Reiki Level I and II certifications. These experiences continue to shape how she approaches facilitation today, with reverence for the work and respect for the responsibility of holding space.

Alongside her ceremonial path, Sunshine brings a background in education and group facilitation. This foundation influences the way she teaches and guides others, weaving together structure, warmth and curiosity to create spaces where people feel safe to explore and grow.

She is particularly passionate about guiding breath journeys, conscious connection practices and ritual spaces that invite people back into relationship with themselves and the community around them.

For Sunshine, ceremony is ultimately about remembrance. Remembering who we are, how we belong, and the power that emerges when people gather with intention.

The Land That Holds Us

Darkinjung Country

Nestled in quiet bushland 2hr NE of Sydney, New South Wales, this retreat space invites you to step away from the noise of everyday life and land fully in nature. Located around two hours from Sydney and about one hour inland from the Central Coast, the property is surrounded by open sky, native trees and the stillness of the Australian bush.

This is a special place for us. It is where we learned from our mentor, Gypsy Willow Artemis, and where many ceremonies have been held over the years. The land holds a deeply sacred energy and offers a beautiful container for this work to unfold.

At the heart of the property is the temple yurt, where most of the training will take place around the central altar and fireplace. A number of beds are available in shared rooms of 3-4 as well as comfy mattresses for those who wish to sleep in the temple. There is also some flat ground for those who wish to sleep in their vehicle.

The property is intentionally simple and off-grid, running on rainwater tanks and eco-toilets. Meals will be shared vegetarian meals and it is advised to bring extra snacks if you need some extra sustenance.

There is also an outdoor fire which will run every night as weather permits, a swimming pool for the warmer months or the brave and surrounding bushland for short walks in nature.

We’ve intentionally chosen a simple, nature-based venue rather than luxury accommodation so we can keep the training accessible and focus on what truly matters, the depth of the facilitation experience.

For many, this simplicity becomes part of the retreat itself: an opportunity to slow down, connect with the land and share in the rhythm of communal retreat life.

GYPSY WILLOW ARTEMIS

Honouring Our Mentor

It is deeply important to us to carry forward the legacy of our late mentor. The work of passing on the medicine far and wide.

While this training will be uniquely our own, woven with our lived experiences, additional studies, and the rituals we have refined and channelled over time, part of what we share comes from what we learned beside her.

We cannot ask Gypsy for her blessing in this lifetime, but it feels right to continue the work she began: gathering people in circle, spreading the medicine of ceremony, and supporting others to follow their bliss.

In honour of her legacy, a percentage of ticket sales will be donated to Gypsy’s children’s trust fund.

May this work ripple forward with integrity, devotion and heart.
