In 2012, I think we need community more than ever. I feel there's great times coming up but challenging too, and that there's heaps of like-minded people out there who need to find each other - to figure out exactly what they're meant to be doing and work together to do it.

About ten years ago, I was bright eyed and enthusiastic about all the wonderful things that the healing arts had to offer, but found that it was alive and well at festivals and retreats, but in my own community and suburb, well, it felt like the roughness and rush of the world was more prominent.
I remember going to look for a place where I could just meet like-minded people, and found that they were all small, cliquey, or already had a focus belonging to the modality they were interested in. I loved lots of holistic things, I didn't know which one I wanted yet! And besides, I've gone to plenty of yoga classes to find that you exchange a brief word or two at the end and then disappear back into your own separate lives. I needed something more. So I mentioned this at a festival and a few people said, what a great idea, we'll help you.
Then it just happened. I booked a hall, and all these people came. Everyone invited people they knew. We had 70 people in that hall the first night and then energy was so high. (There were no drugs or alcohol by the way, just like minded people meeting each other in the city). I remember going to a cafe after we'd closed the hall and sat there eating and drinking chai until they kicked us out. It was 4am. A fire was lit from within. There was a definite sense of homecoming.
It was even more interesting was that I'd 'asked' to meet some like-minded people in my suburb and that first night there were seven! We all became good friends and life certainly changed for the better after that.
One person introduced me to channeling and psychic connection, which I didn't know much about but was intrigued by, and soon I just started to get messages for myself that no-one else was getting. It wasn't long before I started doing these special spontaneous healings, I didn't ever get shown, but something deep inside me knew what to do.
A few parties later a guy turned up who loved kinesiology and was a huge influence on my direction. To this day I shall always remember his kindness. I had a lot of blockages but he was in a position to share lots of things with me which kept opening me up and strengthening me.
It just seemed that everyone I met and connected with gave me a piece of the puzzle.
I'll never forget a guy that turned up one party that was from the Western suburbs. Out there, the people he knew were into gangs and trouble, and here was this really spiritual guy that looked rough but had a heart of gold, and he was in ecstacy. I remember him sharing, 'these people here finally understand me', and 'what a relief, it feels like my family are here'. You know sometimes what you do just touches someone's heart.
There were many stories like his of those who came into their own, through community. After a while I decided that I needed to get focussed on my own pathway, and got my healing work going. I have exhibited at Mind Body Spirit, have had celebrity clients, and so many things have come together there. I have my community to thank for this.
So, this year, I've decided to volunteer my time and bring back these holistic social gatherings, starting in Brisbane and Melbourne. It's time for a whole new level of community magic to start again!
Many blessings, Dianna

These events are unique, as most places where like-minded people go (like courses and expos), are not designed for socialising, or you already have to know you're interested in that approach. What if you just wanted to meet the right people and let them show you the way? ...
At Holistic Parties, we warmly welcome all kinds of holistic interests. As it's a healthy environment, without drugs and alcohol, we create a space where it's easy to meet others. The first part of the night brings the group together with activities, while the second half is more informal with music, dancing, nibblies and time to mix & mingle. The activities change every event and may include get-to-know you experiences, interactive presentations, meditations, performances, creativity and more.
Holistic Parties are a family-friendly environment where all age groups are welcome, from the young to the young-at-heart! Please bring whatever you like, such as networking info to share or drums & musical instruments. If you're looking for relationships, friendship, direction, healers or just the right person to talk to, please come along and be part of a great night together!
Event logistics
* This is a community volunteer event (where no-one is getting paid) so whatever we bring in will cover our costs and help us increase our advertising and networking activities, to attract the most people. It helps us if you commit early so we can fully plan the event!
* Unless stated otherwise, ticket prices are $30 at the door, prepaid $25 or 2 for $40 (up until noon on event day), $20 early bird (by one month before) and $5 kids under 15. Your name will be placed on a door list. Tickets are non-refundable but someone else can use your ticket if you can't attend. Please ask if you need a receipt!
* Kids of all ages are welcome to attend... they remind us to have fun and be youthful! But if they need supervision or quiet entertainment, it is up to you to provide this for them
* Sometimes we need extra volunteers to do 3-4 hours work in exchange for a free ticket, these are organised well before the night so please advise of your interest and we will let you know if there is any opportunity
* Unless stated otherwise, the night will begin at 7.30pm and will kick off 30 minutes later. Please arrive on time, as it will help everyone meet each other
* Please eat dinner beforehand, however light snacks will be provided mid-way through the night and you are welcome to bring along any preferred food or drinks (eg water bottle). Tea, coffee and herbal teas will also be supplied
* To allow all participants to fully experience the event, it is an alcohol-free night. No alcohol, smoking or drugs are permitted
* The activities we share on the night are designed to cover a wide variety of interests and ways of expressing ourselves. It would be wonderful if everyone honours themselves and others with their participation. Wearing comfortable clothes that you feel good in, are recommended
You can see from the photos that it can be quite interactive, depending on the night, and that people are having fun and loving it! We all need love and connection and too often we can become deprived of this in our daily lives, where even to share a hug or join in with others can be daunting. The events are warm and friendly and we create an atmosphere where it's safe to connect and it's always important to be true to yourself and respect everyone's boundaries.
* Please ask us if you wish to take photos or videos. Photographs may be taken by us throughout the night, so please advise if you do not wish to be photographed
* Please turn mobile phones off during the event
* You are welcome to bring networking information and fun items such as musical instruments, drums and things to share
* Naturally it is asked that all attendees participate in a way that allows for the safe enjoyment of others. Please ask if you need anything or if anything needs to be addressed
* Nerang only: Please bring a cushion or mat to sit on as we are creating a cosy area (these items are already at Hawthorn)
* The events can be insightful and even transformational, so be prepared for new positive energy to come into your life! Come ready for a great night of fun, we look forward to sharing it with you!
