Dear Guest!

My warmest welcome! I am so pleased to be sharing with you our 8th year of Seven Sisters Festival. Together we enter a new 7-year cycle and with it many changes.2020 will likely be our final year at Bay Park as we start preparing to move to a new site, a permanent home; to nurture and support generations of Seven Sisters women to come.

This new phase, has asked a deeper level of commitment, courage and risk and indeed these 3 points are the themes for this year’s festival. Considering our themes, I thought it appropriate to revisit the work of Bronnie Ware, an Australian palliative nurse who researched and published a book on the top 5 regrets of the dying. The top 5 regrets were these:

There is such phenomenal clarity of vision and wisdom expressed by all these people at the end of their lives. Which point resonated for you? Can you let yourself be happier? Where and in which area of life can you deepen your commitment, show more courage,

or gently push past boundaries to take risks that lead to your greater happiness and fulfilment?

With love, Lauren WoodmanFounder of Seven Sisters Festival

1. I wish I have the courage to live true to myself and not what others expected of me.

2. I wish I hadn’t worked so hard.

3. I wish I’d had the courage to express my feelings.

4. I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.

5. I wish that I had let myself be happier.

Dates & location for next SSFto be released soon!

Vulnerability starts at birth. We emerge from the womb cold, naked and crying, just hoping to be held in a warm embrace. J. Autherine
