For several years I programmed and managed the General Workshops areas at Peats Ridge Music and Arts Festival, a new years, 3-day camping festival in New South Wales.

  General Workshops

To keep the inspiration flowing into the New Year, I programmed workshops such as goal-setting and attraction energy to help people achieve their resolutions, alongside festival favourites like juggling, choreography, dance, drumming, yoga and singing.

When the book “50 Shades of Grey” was the talk of the year – I engaged some kinky experts to perform an entertaining, adults-only workshop “50 Shades of Play” about communication, sexual play and most importantly, consent. This workshop was hugely popular with standing room only… especially with the Police, who decided to just “check-in” on us for the whole hour!
