Sacred gatherings in Byron Bay

A calendar of ceremonies and gatherings held by Abbey Mariette at Sacred Heart Sacred Earth, each one a quiet invitation to return to yourself.

Ceremonies

Candlelit ceremony space with soft amber light and natural textures

Sacred gatherings that honour the Sacred Womb and Sacred Earth. Abbey holds space for stillness, release, and return in a sanctuary built for rest.

Workshops

Women seated in a circle on cushions in soft morning light

Small, guided circles that invite you deeper into your own practice. Each workshop is held in a quiet rhythm, with time to reflect and to share.

Retreats

Longer gatherings for those ready to step away and return to the Sacred Earth. Days move slowly, held by Abbey's guidance and the quiet of Byron Bay.

Come to the circle

Each gathering unfolds in its own time. Here is how to find your place among them.

Meditation cushions arranged in a circle in a softly lit room

Settle in

Arrive a little early. Settle onto your cushion, and let the quiet of the space meet you before we begin.

Open together

We begin with a shared stillness. Abbey speaks a few words, and the circle settles into its own rhythm.

Receive the work

Each gathering holds its own focus, whether a ceremony, a workshop, or a quiet retreat. Abbey guides the space and you receive what you need.

Return home

The circle closes softly. You are invited to stay for tea, or to carry the stillness home with you.

What brings people to Sacred Heart Sacred Earth?

I came to Abbey with a heaviness I could not name. The stillness of the sanctuary and the space she held allowed me to return to myself. I left feeling lighter than I have in years.

Returning to the Sacred Womb

What most retreats won't tell you.

Two hours beside the Sacred Womb is more than a workshop

No two sessions are identical. Abbey will receive you where you are, and the sanctuary will meet you there. Inquire today.
