Festival 2026 Event Recap
Grounded: How to Lead, Live and Belong
2 March 2026 | Dubbo Regional Theatre and Convention Centre
About the Event
A half-day to breathe out and reconnect
There's a quiet moment many women recognise. The moment when doing more stops working. When success, leadership, and responsibility begin to feel strangely disconnected from who we really are.
Across workplaces, families, and communities, burnout is no longer rare — it's familiar. And yet the solutions we're offered are often just more doing, more productivity, more pressure to keep going.
What if the real shift didn't require more effort at all? What if it began with slowing down?
The Orana Every Woman Festival opened with a rare kind of leadership experience — not about pushing harder, but about leading, living and belonging without losing yourself or exhausting your reserves.
Facilitators
Martine Beaumont
Psychotherapist & Founder, Select Wellness
Martine's opening session explored the generational story of women — who we are, what we carry, and how the generations before us shape the women we are becoming.
As a highly experienced psychotherapist, Martine's work focuses on emotional intelligence, mental health, and leadership wellbeing.
Renee Webster
Psychological Therapist & Founder, Life Blueprint
Where Martine explored identity and leadership, Renee guided the body. Her work centres on somatic awareness, nervous-system regulation, and deep internal restoration.
Rest and clarity do not have to take long. When the nervous system shifts from constant activation into safety, energy changes, thinking clears, and something deeper becomes available.
Key Takeaways

Of deep work
“I walked in carrying the weight of my business, my family, my community responsibilities. I walked out feeling lighter than I have in years. This wasn't self-care — it was soul care.”
