Host • Artist • Space Holder

Hi, I'm Romy, founder of The Art of Loving Kindness.

Creating spaces where women feel safe to slow down, connect and simply be has become one of my greatest joys.

My hope is that by the time you leave, you'll feel lighter, more connected, and reminded that you never needed to become someone else - you simply needed the space to come home to yourself.

I can't wait to welcome you.

Roma Orchard is a peaceful country homestead tucked away in the Hunter Valley, surrounded by rolling hills, open paddocks and beautiful gardens.

You'll enjoy your own private air-conditioned room, welcoming shared spaces, peaceful walking areas and cosy evenings.

It's the perfect place to slow down, switch off and feel completely at home.

There is something truly special about women coming together.

Without expectations or judgement, conversations deepen, laughter comes easily, and meaningful connections unfold naturally.

Our hope is that you leave feeling seen, supported and inspired, not only by the beautiful surroundings, but by the incredible women you've shared this journey with.

Sometimes the best creations happen when there's no pressure to create at all.

Throughout the gathering, a beautiful selection of art materials will be available for you to explore whenever inspiration strikes. Acrylic, watercolour, texture, canvases, and more for experimenting or simply playing.

Whether you're an experienced artist or haven't picked up a paintbrush in years, you're warmly invited to create purely for the joy of it. And if you'd like a little encouragement or guidance along the way, I'll be there to help.

Every meal is another opportunity to connect.

Prepared with love and shared in good company, our home-style meals invite you to slow down, savour the moment and enjoy the warmth of gathering with like-minded women.

Every guest will receive a thoughtfully curated TAOLK Gift Pack, filled with beautiful surprises to welcome you into the gathering.

Whether that's sleeping in, wandering through the orchard, enjoying a quiet cup of tea, creating something beautiful, reading beneath the trees, sharing stories with newfound friends or simply enjoying the quiet, this time is yours to spend in whatever way your heart needs most.
