From the room
I attended one of Ros’s workshops in August 2026. Ros has overcome so much in the past few years and she bravely shared her journey with the group as a way to encourage positivity and gratitude. I came away from the afternoon determined to think bigger, and honour all of who I am. Thanks Ros for sharing your story 🙏

The women’s circle was a confronting experience for me - not in a negative way, but in a way that asked me to gently face things I’d been carrying for a long time. It wasn’t “fun,” but it was deeply meaningful. It helped me find a way forward through a challenging period and gave me the space to focus again, cutting through the emotional clutter. Ros held the space with genuine presence and care. I felt safe to share in that space with other women, and that sense of safety made it possible for me to open up and be honest with myself. Even though the day stirred things up, I left feeling clearer, more grounded, and more able to navigate what’s ahead. The experience honoured where I was on my journey and supported me in reconnecting with myself in a steady, authentic way.🇰🇿✨🌻

The workshop came at a fantastic time when I was at a crossroads in my creative work, and I was able to share it with a friend who was also looking for inspiration. I went home feeling ‘fired up’ for the first time in a long time and have been enjoying a morning dancing meditation every day since! Thanks Ros!

Attending Ros’s Women’s Circle was such a beautiful and meaningful experience. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect, but I came away feeling genuinely inspired, uplifted and grateful that I had been there. The format of the circle was really well considered. There was a lovely balance between guided conversation, reflection, sharing and simply having the opportunity to listen to the experiences and perspectives of other women. Nothing felt rushed or overly structured — the different elements flowed naturally and allowed the conversations to unfold in a very genuine way. Ros’s facilitation was a big part of what made the experience so special. She brings such positive energy and a genuine generosity of spirit to the room. Her warmth and authenticity immediately put people at ease, and you can feel that she is wholeheartedly invested in creating something meaningful for the women who attend. She knows when to gently guide the conversation and when to simply allow the space for something meaningful to emerge. I felt that everyone was given the opportunity to contribute in their own way, without ever feeling pressured to share. There was something very powerful about being in a room with other women and having the space to simply be ourselves — to listen, share, reflect and connect without judgement. What stayed with me most was that sense of connection. I think as women we spend so much of our lives being strong, getting things done and being there for everyone else that we can forget how important it is to have spaces where we can also be supported, heard and inspired by one another. I left feeling lighter, more connected and with a renewed sense of possibility. The experience stayed with me afterwards, which I think says a lot. What Ros is creating through these circles feels genuinely important, particularly in the world we are living in today. Her positive energy, generosity and genuine desire to bring women together are at the heart of it, and I’m very grateful to have been part of it. ❤️
