​ESSENTIAL BEING RETREATS
@
Story House and Garden

ABOUT OUR RETREAT
Conscious Evolution
The Essential Being Retreat has been created by a millennial for millennials as a way to provide a safe space for young people to come to unlearn limiting beliefs that can trap them into living a life removed from their true selves.

We often get caught up in this thinking mind, often conditioned by our upbringing, our education, the society in which we live in and the media and which can cause us to worry, stress and get anxious about daily trivial things.


The Essential Being Retreat will teach you strategies and practices that you can implement in your daily life that will stop and calm the thinking mind so you can concentrate on consciously evolving and living a life of happiness and balance.

WE CAN LIVE A RAINBOW
Storyteller Anne E Stewart has lived in Daylesford for 27 years and has watched her small country town turn into one of regional Australia’s most gay friendly towns. This prompted the question some years back, “why was it so gay friendly.’ What followed was an interesting social history explained in her show, “So who was the first gay in the Village.
With the passing of the marriage equality act she attended celebrations at the local Daylesford hotel and started pondering on a different set of questions
The recent birth of her granddaughter had Anne thinking on rainbow families and the stories they tell their children.
“My granddaughter looked so like her dad I wondered how gay families told their children about their genetic makeup
Who was their dad, their mum
Were their any restrictions on IVF treatment
From a literary family Anne wondered how rainbow families were depicted in literature. What were the stories that spurred and encouraged their children.
This all had Anne wondering on conversations with gay families. Were you able to ask about donors, or was that off limits.
How were their families planned and conceived. What was the journey.
A straight women, Anne’s passion for storytelling and love for her home town have her working through some of these questions
There’s many Rainbow families in Daylesford and I was just keen to  celebrate this with respectful discussions

​Story house and garden's resident storyteller, Anne E Stewart, shines a light on rainbow families to uncover language and etiquette around respectful communication and relationships.
