5th Annual Earth Medicine Conference
Coming Home to Our Heart
Each autumn, the Earth Medicine Conference invites people to gather by Newcastle Harbour for a weekend centred on the healing arts. It’s a welcoming and nourishing space to deepen your connection with the natural world, share in collective wisdom, and feel supported along your personal journey. You’ll leave restored, carrying a renewed sense of energy and intention into the year ahead.
20th & 21st March 2027
You are invited to join us again in 2027 for the educational experience of the year.
A weekend to enjoy hands-on learning, enlightening presentations, open discussions, guided meditations mixed with raffles, prizes, and light hearted fun.
​​
Catch up with old friends, make new friends. Share good food, practical insights, and healing-focused conversations. Be yourself. Be embraced.
Our Venue
A gentle walk along Newcastle harbour in the lively Honeysuckle precinct, will take you to Rydges. A perfect elemental setting for an Estuary Learning Earth Medicine Conference with its scenic open waterfront, cafés, coastal paths, and easy access to beaches and public transport.

Our Keynote Speaker
Jacqui Bushell
Sacred Presence and Magdalene Oils Of Anointing
Spiritual herbalist and storyteller Jacqui Bushell has spent much of her life in communion with the mythic imagination, listening for the wisdom held in fairy tales, plants, and the living stories of the land.
As a teacher, practitioner and facilitator with over 30 years’ experience, she guides people to explore their own mythology at the borderlands of psyche, body, culture, and landscape. Her work invites a deep shift in perception; awakening creativity, presence, and a profound sense of belonging and kinship with the natural world.
Jacqui weaves together plant spirit wisdom, myth, somatic practices, and journey work to support transformational change in how people experience themselves and their relationship with place. Her approach is experiential, grounded, and deeply relational, bridging the seen and unseen, earth and imagination. Jacqui’s work is known for its depth, warmth, and transformative power, opening spaces where people can remember themselves as part of a living, conscious world.
She is the founder of the Sacred Presence range of essences and the Magdalene Oils of Anointing, and facilitates workshops, courses, and retreats online, in Australia, including the Outback, as well as France. Her programs span creating essences and plant spirit wisdom training, ecospirituality, the sacred feminine, and the power of fairy tales.
