A regional SDN workshop was held at the Riverdell Spiritual Centre north of Adelaide from 12/9 to 15/9. The facility was very suitable for an SDN workshop and staff were helpful, friendly, flexible, and generous. Nature abounds at Riverdell, surrounded by a rapidly-developing area. Their website is https://riverdell.org.au/

A total of 14 people attended the workshop, with 62% coming from South Australia and a gender distribution of 57% men and 43% women. A fascinating variety of presentations was on offer, for example - Convivial conversations, Beautiful questions/trouble, Would I lie to you?, How to improve the world, and Shaking medicine.

Stay tuned for the 2024 annual SDN workshop in the Dandenong Ranges east of Melbourne from 15-19 January.

SDN Coordinator

  • I appreciated the attention to detail throughout the prep stages and then in our gathered collaboration.
  • I have great memories from that workshop week! Thank you to all the organisers, and looking forward to attending another workshop one day!
  • Thank you for the opportunity you gave me via your presence to truly understand what it means to be with ‘kindred spirits’, and what shared humanity feels like!
  • It was my very first SDN workshop, so I was unsure how things would unfold. Hooray!! It turned out to be a truly memorable experience. I loved the opportunity to participate in the adventure of people presenting something, and that workshop participants were open-minded, authentic and kind.

Join us at the next SDN Workshop, held at the serene Riverdell Spiritual Centre, nestled in the beautiful countryside north of Adelaide. From 12th to 16th September, immerse yourself in this transformative event where participants arrive on the 12th and depart on the 16th, experiencing three days and four nights of deep engagement.

Why attend the SDN Workshop? Because we believe that change starts with you. Our workshop provides a unique forum for big and small ideas, where we foster personal growth and inspire collective action. It's not just about gaining knowledge and skills - it's about building a supportive community for you as a catalyst in the work you want to do in the world.

Unlike traditional conferences, there is no hierarchy and no fixed agenda. We believe that true change emerges from the collaboration and contributions of every participant. We create an inclusive space where you can share your concerns, stories, and aspirations, whether they are personal or politically charged. By becoming part of this workshop's dynamic agenda, you actively shape the content and direction of the event. This is your opportunity to be heard, to connect with like-minded individuals, and to be an agent of positive change.

Imagine the power of joining a diverse group of individuals, all passionate about making a difference. Through lively conversations, meaningful connections, and thought-provoking discussions, you'll engage in a journey of self-discovery and collective transformation. The SDN Workshop empowers you to be a catalyst for social change, offering you an effective small group experience where conviviality and mutual support are guaranteed.

Don't miss the opportunity to be a part of this extraordinary event. Inquire further today and secure your spot at the SDN Workshop. Together, let's embrace our shared purpose, unleash our potential, and create a future that inspires us all.

On-line registrations open after 1 August.
