🩷International Women’s Day 🧡
To every woman who has crossed paths with us in the water and beyond - this is for you.
For the waves we shared, the laughter between surf sessions, the deep conversations, the quiet healing moments, and the wild joy of simply being together.
Women of Water is more than retreats or events. It’s every woman who showed up with an open heart, who held space, who cheered someone into a wave, who cried, laughed, healed, and grew beside us.
Thank you for being part of this beautiful sisterhood. Every moment we’ve shared is woven into the story of this community, and we’re so grateful to walk this path with you.
With love and gratitude 🩵

A change of eras at IN | ARI
We’re saying farewell to Sharna Barker and June Sartracom from their roles as Directors. Alongside Ruby Donohoe, they were founding directors of IN | ARI in 2021, laying the groundwork for everything the organisation has become. From big ideas to the unseen labour, Sharna and June helped build the tone, values and heart of IN | ARI. Their influence is everywhere, and this next chapter wouldn’t exist without them.
Sharna continues her work as Exhibition Program Officer at Museums & Galleries Queensland, alongside her independent arts practice. You can keep up with June’s evolving practice via @junometry . Endless thanks to @sharna.a.barker and @junometry for what they’ve given - and so much love for what comes next 💛

✨ Sending warm waves and festive love from our salty, sandy sisterhood to you! 🌊🎄
To wrap up 2025, our local Women of Water crew gathered for a joyful morning of beach yoga, ocean dips, and a playful Santa-style surf 🧘♀️🤶🏄♀️
As this year winds down, we’re feeling deeply grateful for every shared wave, every heart-opening moment, and every woman who has been part of the Women of Water journey.
Whether you’ve joined us in the ocean, on the mat, or simply in spirit - thank you for being part of this ever-growing circle of connection and flow. 💙
May this season bring you rest, joy, and a little magic - whatever you celebrate, and whatever way you celebrate it. We can’t wait to keep riding this wave together into the new year. 🌅💫
With Love,
Kerstin & Lan

✨ What a morning! 🌅
We greeted the sunrise together, moved and breathed with a beautiful Qigong session led by Kerstin, walked along the beach, climbed those stairs (yes, we made it!), and shared coffee, laughs, and soulful conversations.
No whales spotted today — maybe because we were too busy enjoying each other’s company. 💛
Thank you to everyone who showed up and made this morning so special. Here’s to more mornings like this - connecting, moving, and just being together. 🌺
