About expand Now
Our Vision
To live in a world where humanity is at one with the natural world.
We Exist to
We are a community of women who support each other to EXPAND. We share non-competitive spaces to authentically express ourselves, grow, and form genuine connections with the ultimate aim of making a positive difference in the world.
Our Activities
Expand Now is a community that hosts picnics, women's circles, curious conversations, retreats and confidence-building workshops. The Expand Now Community also offers advice on how to navigate challenging or difficult situations.
Our Values
Curiosity
Curiosity is what it takes to move outside of our comfort zone towards the activities, people and places that light us up. What is calling me?
Compassion
Compassion is how we treat ourselves and others as we grow and also when we resist growing. Who needs my compassion at this moment?
Courage
Courage is what it takes to speak and act from our truest nature or our deepest values. What requires my courage now?
Community
Community is where we go for nurturing, growth, love and security. It's where we can be our most authentic selves. Do you have a safe place to be you?
Not-for-Profit
Expand Now will not personally receive profits. All of the organisation’s funds and assets will be used to support people to connect with their true nature and radically lift their confidence.
YOU WERE BORN TO EXPAND
What if I were to tell you...
You are already complete just as you are.
You possess unique gifts and have a unique purpose.
You are full of light bursting to EXPAND right now.
WOULD YOU SHOW UP DIFFERENTLY?
Prioritise your well-being?
Focus on building your confidence?
Break away from toxic relationships?
Say NO more often?
Manage your addictive patterns?
Nurture healthy relationships?
Take more time for yourself?
I'll tell you a secret...
The internal light that is our true nature
is meant to EXPAND.
As it expands, it touches others,
helping them grow into their true nature.
There is sweet reciprocity when
we are unapologetically, wildly,
and passionately ourselves.
Everyone and everything on earth
benefits when we are ourselves.
During our life,
this glorious light often SHRINKS.
This happens because we are told
how to behave, what to value, and how to live.
It happens when we don’t feel good enough
in a society that pushes us to be ‘socially acceptable'.
You don't fit in...
You've tried on ‘nice’ – it didn't fit
You've tried on ‘pretty’ – it didn't fit
You've tried on ‘smart’ – it didn't fit
You've tried on ‘sporty’ – it didn't fit
You've tried on ‘sensible’ – it didn't fit
You've tried on ‘popular’ – it didn't fit
You've tried on wife, daughter, son - they didn't fit
Naturally, we cannot SHINE whilst wearing something that does not fit! It makes us feel confused about our identity and our place in the world.
Devastated, we decide that we don’t belong,
and perhaps never will.
Here's the truth...
You don’t fit in.
Isn’t that good to know?
You are incomparable to anyone else
With gifts no other person on earth has,
With a purpose no other human can enact,
With a unique story that can inspire.
AND
You are flawed,
You’ve made mistakes,
You’ve disappointed others and yourself,
You’ve made choices that you regret.
But these do not diminish your light,
they make you human.
EXPAND the light within so it can give you joy
and inspire us all.
Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.
