Get inspired, do a hands-on declutter & reset, start a whole new culture at home.

Have you ever cleaned up a room and it has uplifted your mood? Get ready for that good mood extravaganza. Your guides Cecilia Macaulay and Katie de Araujo bring inspiration and insight that transform your home and your habits, in real time.

Together we will beautify one room, and make a place you love being in. It will refresh your energy and your perspective.

As you cultivate your space, you cultivate your spirit. Tell your clutter that its days are numbered. As you liberate your space from obstacles, the space supports you and your goals.

You'll learn the basics of being the designer in your life. You will have a place to stretch like a cat, or curl up and simply Be.

This is an embodied and interactive time together, not one bit like work! You'll get to ask questions, engage in activities, and be inspired by Cecilia’s beautiful photos and ideas. We will get things done, and have a show-and-tell at the end. Using principles like:

- Feng sui: mountain at your back, a river in front

- Decluttering: less stuff, more love.

- Identify your sense of beauty, then subtract what doesn't belong

- Expand on what lights you up.

Katie de Araujo, founder of Body Centred Living, will get you feeling in your body, what a beautiful space feels like. A room can feel as good as a smile, a clear breath and open posture. She says “Our sacred space holds both our base chakra’s need for safety and belonging as well as our highest chakra’s need for a spiritual opening.”

Cecilia brings wisdom from Japanese culture and Permaculture (nature-based design), right to where you can use it, daily.

You will go away with design principles that are fascinating, fun and stay with you for life.

-Anne, South Gippsland.

What people say about Katie’s Yoga teaching:

"Katie's yoga is creative. She takes me traveling though whole new universes in my body that I never knew existed. Every pose comes with an insight on how to live life without struggle. I love the sound of her voice, and most of all, love being in her aura"

- April, Camberwell

Katie de Araujo and Cecilia Macaulay have been creating cubbyhouses and fun times together for almost half a century...because they are sisters! How lucky they have ovelapping missions, bringing a touch of wonder to daily life.

A farmyard declutter by Cecilia creates a light, airy space for concerts and connecting to nature, self and each other.

Can you see the changes?

Can you identify any principles that will mean effort has been put into effortlessness?

Under the apple tree becomes a place for convival introverts to stretch, snack, and reflect on life, seperate and together. Its improvised, a bit scrappy, but it opens up possibilies, and will get lovelier and lovelier.

This cluttered Garage became a lovely Yoga place for children to come when they want to escape the upheaval they cause (and parents to retreat to). The project unfolded gradually over a year, as the owners got more and more inspired by how beautiful it was becoming. Clutter got 'digested', useful things went into orderly cupboards. The wooden floor suddenly felt it was worth saving up for, and the family now have a pressure-valve retreat to go to. Much better than the 'stuff'.
