Our Collaborators

The people who bring depth, care, and presence to each experience.

Each experience is shaped by a small group of people, each bringing their own craft, presence, and way of seeing.

Robyn McKechnie Lowe

Chef

Food has always been a central thread in Robin’s life, bringing her back, again and again, to the table. A trained chef with over a decade in hospitality, including fine dining kitchens in New Zealand, she brings both skill and ease to the way she cooks and shares food. Influenced by her Indian, Mediterranean and South Pacific roots, and years of travel through Asia, her approach is shaped by a rich mix of flavours and traditions. Today, she is most drawn to creating relaxed, welcoming spaces where people can cook together, share a meal, and reconnect through the simple pleasure of food.

Fiona Perrella

Artist

Fiona is a resilience educator and facilitator who blends creativity, reflection and a touch of play to explore what sits beneath the surface. With over 20 years’ experience working with adults, young people and organisations, her work is shaped by positive psychology and a deep curiosity about identity, self-expression and inner strength. Drawing on the raw, expressive spirit of zine culture, she creates spaces where participants can experiment with words, images and ideas, piecing together something that feels personal, honest and entirely their own, a tangible reminder of who they are beneath the noise.

11 Acre Farm

Venue

Our I Am Beauty workshop is held at 11 Acre Farm, a permaculture space grounded in care for land, community and natural cycles. It’s a place that invites a slower pace, offering a setting that quietly supports the themes of the day.
