Welcome to
an afternoon of High Bohemia
Wisdom, Connection, Culture
Reciprocity Amongst Women
I'm welcoming you into my world of High Bohemia, an intentionaly curated afternoon in the artists home, surrounded by beauty, nature and art where Reciprocity resides.
Reciprocity is consciously embodied, creating the lives we want to lead with gratitude, love, joy and creativity. A life that excites and lights us up.
When we 'show up' and share our wisdom, knowledge and truths, we create communities and positive collaborations with integrity, heart and expansion.
This is an invitation to join conscious women at Reciprocity gatherings (held three times a year in my North Balwyn home). Through inspiring guest speakers, art, music, nourishing food and meaningful conversations, we connect, share and explore higher learning together.
Intimate gatherings of women nurturing and supporting each other to grow and thrive, giving and receiving with love and generosity. Free from judgement, fear or keeping score.
It's about connection, dynamic discussions, new ways of thinking, wellbeing, health and living consciously. Let our woo shine and spend our energy and gifts on what matters.
This is our movement and our time.

Connection
For over 30 years, I've gathered around tables with Artists, Architects, Designers, Healers, Musicians, and the curious - people who challenge conventional thinking, envelop themselves in culture, and take life on. These erudite conversations, this synergy of the avant-garde and the possible, sahped my lived experience of 'High Bohemia'.
Now I'm opening my home to continue this tradition and expanding it into, Reciprocity gatherings an afternoon immersed in this world - meaningful discussions on culture, shared wisdom, free-thinking, and conscious living. It's about curating moments that speak to your soul, connecting with women who lead from the heart, and experiencing that special energy that rises when inspirational minds gather. Welcome to an afternoon of connection, creativity, and the wonder world of Reciprocity and living the High Bohemia lifestyle.

Katrina Myers
Katrina will be talking about Light Codes and ascension - something that deeply resonates with me and the transformative energy we're creating at Reciprocity.
Have you felt the intense astrological energy lately?
Maybe you've noticed strange physical or energetic shifts - the Universe is speaking to you. It's time for your spiritual glow up. The powerful 11:11 portal is your gateway to elevate your frequency and embody more of your divine self.
Ascension isn't just about "feeling happier." It's a real, embodied process of integrating your higher multidimensional self into form - transmuting your cells, nervous system, and DNA from carbon-based to crystalline light: your Christ Body. As your frequency rises, your reality transforms to meet it.
This alchemy is powered by the technology of the Heart, connecting your body with the Earth's electromagnetic grid and cosmic frequencies. As you master this process, you begin to radiate pure light, joy, and divine safety - literally glowing from within.
We are being called to anchor Heaven on Earth - to embody our highest light in physical form.
