The Passion Project Collective is essentially
a networking + co-working event
with heart, wellness experiences and
encouraging organic growth and connection.

An empowering space for women to connect and
deep dive into their own passion projects.

Together let's amplify our inner passion and ripple this out across the globe!

Imagine that it's the end of the week and you're going to the 'The Passion Project Co' to have a spacious 3 hours to 'fill up and over flow your cup'.

You dip into guided wellness practices to ground and align your focus while being surrounded by nature and wholesome women with a cuppa in your hand.

You tick things off your list for the week and prepare for a thriving upcoming week ahead.

You're supported by a sounding board of cheerleaders with any icky or uncertain tasks or questions on your list and you leave the gathering feeling more connected, clear, confident and more of magnificent YOU!

To feel more empowered with greater awareness of your vision and direction of your life.

There's a greater sense of wholeness and 'I am enough just as I am' kind of feeling feeling with a zest and excitement for expansion.

Welcome to our Community!

The essence of these gatherings is to create:

~ a heart-centred space available weekly for women to gather to focus and tend to their passion projects...

~weaving in wellness experiences like meditation, sharing circle and gentle movement...

~surrounded by nature and a supportive group of like-hearted women.

It's essentially a networking + co-working event with heart, wellness experiences and encouraging organic growth and connection.

It's about fanning the flames of our visions.

We lean into the doing while BEING...and align our monthly structural flow with that of our menstrual cycle and also the moon cycle. Balancing masculine and feminine energies within in the way we show up for our work/offerings/creations.

This is a space for women of all walks of life to focus on what they are passionate about and shift into a wholesome flow state to build a greater sense of community, collaboration, connection, clarity, creativity and confidence.

This is about upliftment where we are creating with heart while honouring self care needs.

This space is where the inner masculine energy of structure meets the feminine energy of flow.

Together we will ‘fan the flames’ of each other’s visions and amplify this in a supportive ‘power in numbers’ network.

What we do:

~ Celebrate - we are invited to uplift, celebrate and acknowledge each other and also ourselves.

~ Circle - although there is a facilitator present, there is no hierarchy and there is space for all women.

~ Connect - this space is about exploring the connection with our inner selves and with each other in a safe and wholesome way.

What we don’t do:

~ Compete - there is room for us all to grow, glow and be together. Everyone who attends will be from all walks of life with different priorities, lifestyles and ideals.

~ Criticise - this space is about sharing, expressing and being together with wholesome values based on compassionate communication

~ Coach - This is a space of encouragement and support. It is not a place of coaching or giving unsolicited advice.

"Hi there! I'm Astara.

I've always been fascinated by what lights a person up and what they are passionate about.

I love witnessing when someone 'loses themselves in the moment' - what I see is someone truly finding themselves. They dip into the present. Their eye widen. They get goosebumps. They talk a little faster. It's as though their whole life has been leading up to this moment (well I guess that is what life is - a moment leading to the next moment!)

While creating this website, I was seated in a cafe with my cuppa and on the table next to me was a woman with her paints out and art book while sipping on tea too. We were in the creative portal together and I though "AH! Of course this experience is happening while I am birthing the website which is about inviting women together to tend to their inner fires of what lights them up outside of work, family, home...

I'm passionate about co-creating wholesome heart-centred experiences to deepen our connection with nature (within and around), creativity and community.

I have 20 years of experience as a facilitator with a background in Neuro-Linguistic Kinesiology, Touch for Health Kinesiology, Wholistic Counselling, Energy Medicine and Event Management.

My partner and I are parents to our beautiful 2 y/o daughter and we live at Ninderry, Sunshine Coast. I absolutely love gardening, watercolour painting and shopping at farmers markets. These activities I love to experience with my family, though I love having a deep dive with my passion projects usually solo or with other like-hearted folks which is why I've birthed 'The Passion Project Collective'.

I absolutely adore nestling into a cafe or park and deep diving into the creative portal of what I'm passionate about (business or offering wise) over a chai with trees grounding the space....

Editing photos and websites, creating short vids, writing content for an event or course, intention setting, abundance allocation (time and finance), creating graphics...these kinds of things...

When I drop in with focussed intention, things birth with greater flow (can you relate?) so imagine what could birth when that space is shared with others with similar intentions, values and desires.

I've witnessed the magic that can birth when we step into this space with others. The magic cultivated is rippled 10 fold with the wisdom of experience from all women being planted into the space and each other's ideas.

We lean into the doing while BEING...and align our monthly structural flow with that of our menstrual cycle and also the moon cycle. Balancing masculine and feminine energies within in the way we show up for our work/offerings/creations.
