Creative Women's Circle Melbourne

Welcome to the Glen Iris Women's Circle Melbourne

We are a gathering place for mindful connection, sacred craft, and connection to the wisdom of the natural world.

Join our warm, wholehearted circle where creativity and connection is tended as a path of self-discovery and insight. We invite the dreamers, makers, story-weavers, mothers, sisters and seekers from all walks of life to gather with us. You do not need to be an artist, just keep an open mind for exploring the creative process with a group of like minded women who want to play!

Nestled within our leafy Glen Iris studio, these women's circles are a dedicated sanctuary to slow down, create, reflect, and share in community. Our gatherings weave together mindfulness, ecotherapy, plant and earth-based insight, and creativity to help you untangle from the daily rush and step back into alignment with your wild, wise, and authentic self. Whether you are drawn to the three-hour gathering in Glen Iris, or one of our social events, or an immersive seasonal retreat under open skies of The Eco Retreat in the Otways, there is a cushion kept for you here. Register for our next women's circle and join the tribe.

What is a Women’s Circle?

A women’s circle is an ancient, gentle container where women come together to share, restore, and connect in a safe, confidential, and deeply supportive space. We welcome dreamers, creators, leaders, mothers, artists, growers, and seekers to nourish the mind, body, and spirit. Founded by Marion Miller—a coach, counsellor, eco-therapist, artist, and mindfulness teacher, the circle is held in her private Glen Iris studio, surrounded by gardens and art.

In the circle, we practice the art of compassionate listening. Women take turns speaking from the heart without judgment, advice-giving, or fixing. We create a space where you can feel fully seen, validated, and connected to your intuitive nature. Artistic experience is never required; we explore creativity as a tool for well-being, self-discovery, and reclaiming your natural voice.

What Each 3-Hour Gathering Holds

Wholehearted Sharing: A sacred, confidential space to speak your truth, feel heard, and process life’s transitions.
Contemplative & Grounding Practices: Simple mindfulness, guided meditation, and ecotherapy tools to settle the nervous system and anchor your awareness.
Expressive & Creative Insight: Guided art-making and reflective prompts designed for intuitive exploration and self-expression.
Ritual & Earth-Based Wisdom: Seasonal ceremonies and exercises that honor the natural world and our place within it.
Nourishment: Herbal tea blends, wild-brewed infusions, and a locally sourced, wholesome supper to nourish our time together.
