A Gathering Without an Agenda

A beautiful few days to slow down, reconnect, laugh and enjoy being surrounded by wonderful women.

No workshops.

No schedules.

No expectations.

Just time to slow down.

This isn't a gathering filled with schedules, lessons or things you need to achieve.

It's a gentle invitation to step away from everyday life and simply be.

Sleep in if you want to.
Read a book under a tree.
Walk through the orchard.
Share stories by the fire.
Laugh until your cheeks hurt.
Or enjoy the quiet.

There is no right way to experience a TAOLK Gathering.

Only the way your heart needs.

Meet your Host

  • Romy

    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.

A place to slow down.

  • Welcome to Roma Orchard

    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.

  • A Space to Gather and Belong

    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.

  • A Space to Create

    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.

  • Gather Around the Table

    As part of your TAOLK Gathering, all meals and refreshments are lovingly prepared and shared together.

    We are happy to cater for most vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free preferences where possible.

    Unfortunately, due to the nature of our small shared kitchen and the meals we prepare together, we are unable to safely cater for coeliac disease, severe food allergies (including nuts), FODMAP requirements or medical dietary conditions that require strict food preparation or the complete avoidance of cross-contamination.

    If you have a food preference such as no mushrooms, olives, capsicum, seafood or similar, please let us know when booking and we'll do our best to accommodate you.

  • Your TAOLK Gift Pack Awaits

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

  • The Magic is in the Moments

    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.

Gift yourself some Loving Kindness

Sometimes the greatest act of loving kindness isn't something we do for others...

It's giving ourselves permission to pause.

To step away from the busyness of everyday life.
To breathe deeply.
To laugh freely.
To rest without guilt.
To reconnect with ourselves and the women around us.

Before Christmas arrives and life becomes busy once again, gift yourself three peaceful days to rest, reconnect and remember what it feels like to simply be.
