Blooming, Together: Bloom Journals Campaign Launch (with Maya Ward)

What does self-reflection need to become, if we are to support the generous, courageous, and ecologically-attuned selves our world so desperately needs?

Since 2021, over 2,200 Bloom journals have found their way into hands and hearts across Australia and beyond. Returning after a year of pause, we’ve been reflecting on what ‘self-reflection’ really means, or what it could really mean. What if reflection wasn’t just a mirror, but a doorway—opening us to older ways of knowing, to the chorus of our more-than-human kin, and to invitations that draw us back into rhythm with life itself?

It's time for Bloom '25 to come into the world, and we're excited to invite you to a gathering of some of our close community to usher in and welcome it forth! “Self-care is never a selfish act - it is simply good stewardship of the only gift I have, the gift I was put on earth to offer others. Anytime we can listen to true self and give the care it requires, we do it not only for ourselves, but for the many others whose lives we touch.” ― Parker Palmer --

Our evening of Blooming, Together will entail: 🌸 light food and drinks 🌸 facilitated dialogue with Maya Ward and Al Jeffery, exploring a wider view on 'self'-reflective practice, including Western, Eastern, and Indigenous philosophies, nature-based contemplation, and self-reflection as stewardship. 🌸 guided nature-based contemplative practices 🌸 short introduction to the 2025 Bloom Journals Campaign's reframed intent and offerings 🌸 live music 🌸 poetry Donate to join us We are asking for a small donation to attend to cover the basic costs of the event. Any proceeds from this event and all proceeds from the campaign itself will go straight to this year's campaign benefactor, CERES School of Nature and Climate.

Accessibility notes: We will be gathering in the newly opened Community Hall at CERES. This venue is wheelchair accessible and can be entered directly from the main entrance to CERES.
