We invite you to join us during Garrawang, the first month of the ‘High Summer’ season, and experience the generous, hopeful spirit of our Small Giants Academy community.

You will enjoy enriching conversations and group experiences at Mossy Willow farm, on beautiful Boon Wurrung country in Main Ridge on the Mornington Peninsula. Enjoy a relaxed curation of conversation circles, sunrise ocean swims, afternoon bush walks, beekeeping and permaculture workshops, feasting, dancing, meditation, movement, music, visioning and so much more.

Community is at the heart of what we do – bringing people together to share stories, visions and heartfelt conversation. This retreat has been thoughtfully co-curated and co-designed for and with our SGA Fellows. You’ll connect with Fellows who have completed the MBE, journeyed on Impact Safari trips and completed a Deep Dives, along with Dumbo Feather contributors, all legendary leaders on this life-long journey of radical generosity, learning, and supporting one another.

‍

We hope you can gather with us for this nourishing and gentle way to close out the year.
