💗 AN UPDATE FROM FLOURISH GOLD COAST 💗

Unfortunately, we’ve had to cancel our upcoming Crystal Castle & Byron Bay Ladies Day Out as we haven’t reached the minimum numbers needed for the trip to go ahead.

With that, I thought it was a good time for a little Gold Coast update.

We launched with an amazing group of around 50 women and have loved the lunches, drinks and walks we’ve shared since. We’ve met some gorgeous women along the way and some fabulous connections have been made. We just haven’t quite built the consistent numbers needed to keep a regular calendar of local events running.

So rather than managing two separate Flourish Experiences pages, I’m bringing everything together under our main Flourish Experiences page. 🌸

Our fully hosted women’s holidays have become a huge part of Flourish, and women from all over Australia are welcome to join us — including our Gold Coast ladies!

While we have don’t have any future local Gold Coast events planned, you are all more than welcome to join us on one of our bigger adventures. And hopefully the connections made at our Gold Coast events will continue too. ✈️🥂

We have LOTS brewing for 2027 and beyond — including trips to Melbourne, King Island, Uluru and Darwin/Kakadu, with plenty more still to be announced.

So before this page closes, come across and follow our main Flourish Experiences Instagram and pages to keep up to date with everything that’s coming.

A huge thank you to the fabulous Ali Plath, who has been our amazing Gold Coast event host and welcomed everyone so warmly. Al, you are an absolute legend and the epitome of Flourish! Thank you so much for jumping on board and being such a beautiful human 💗

And to all the ladies who joined us at one of our events or followed along, thank you for your support and understanding.

🎭 Oh, the shows we’ve seen! ❤️

We always have an absolute ball on our Flourish theatre trips — and looking back through these photos brings back so many fabulous memories!

So far, we’ve ticked off…

✨ TINA – The Tina Turner Musical
✨ MJ The Musical
✨ The Phantom of the Opera
✨ Pretty Woman: The Musical
✨ A Beautiful Noise
✨ My Fair Lady

And there are plenty more to come! 🎭

Our Flourish theatre trips are about so much more than simply seeing a show. We turn them into a whole experience, with beautiful accommodation, welcome drinks, special dining experiences and, of course, some of the best seats in the house.

They’re also perfect if there’s a show you’ve always wanted to see but you don’t have anyone to go with.

You absolutely do not need to bring a friend to join Flourish. Come on your own and you’ll have a ready-made group of women to enjoy the weekend and the show with. ❤️

Or grab your girlfriend, sister, mum, daughter or another fabulous woman in your life and make a weekend of it together!

🏰 NEXT UP: THE CASTLE – THE MUSICAL | MELBOURNE | APRIL 2027

Australia’s favourite movie is moving from the screen to the stage — and Flourish will be there!

We still have places available on our Melbourne theatre trip in April, and we’d love you to join us.

🎟️ Tickets & all the details: https://www.flourishexperiences.com.au/event-details-registration/the-castle-midweek-melbourne-theatre-escape

And remember — you can join us from anywhere in Australia! Our tour starts and finishes in Melbourne, so simply meet us there and we’ll take care of the rest.

Come for the show. Stay for the laughs, the dinners, the new friendships and all those little moments that make a Flourish trip so much fun. 💕🎭

🌸 Have you got your ticket yet for our Ladies Day Out to Crystal Castle & Byron Bay?

We’d absolutely love to welcome you aboard! 🚌💛

On Saturday 3 October, we’re heading off from the Gold Coast for a gorgeous day out — first stop, the incredible Crystal Castle & Shambhala Gardens, before continuing on to Byron Bay.

But here’s the bit we really want you to know…

You don’t need to be a member to come along.
At flourish, there’s no membership, no joining fee and definitely no need to already know someone.

Flourish Experiences is for women who’d simply like to get out, do something different, meet new people and have some fun.

Come on your own. Come with a friend. Come if you’re new to the Gold Coast. Come if your usual friends aren’t interested in the same things you are. Come because you’ve been meaning to start saying yes to a few more things. 💛

That’s exactly what Flourish is about.

Our Ladies Day Out includes return bus travel from Mermaid Waters, time to explore the spectacular Crystal Castle & Shambhala Gardens, a guided highlights tour, a beautiful Crystal Sound Bath experience and a visit to Byron Bay.

And with only a small group travelling, it’s a lovely, easy way to meet some new faces along the way.

✨ Saturday 3 October
🚌 Mermaid Waters → Crystal Castle → Byron Bay
🎟️ Tickets $169

So… have you got your ticket yet?

If you’ve been hovering over that booking button wondering whether to come — this is your sign. 🌸

We’d love to have you with us.

Flourish Experiences — come for the experience, leave with new connections. 💛

✨ NEW EVENT ALERT ✨

Ok ladies, picture this…

It’s Saturday morning. You jump aboard our private bus with a group of Flourish ladies and head across the border for a day at one of the most extraordinary places in the Byron hinterland.

First stop — Crystal Castle & Shambhala Gardens. 💎🌿

And if you’ve never been before, this place really is something else.

Set amongst hectares of lush subtropical gardens and rainforest, Crystal Castle is home to towering crystals, giant amethyst geodes, beautiful statues, peaceful garden trails and some seriously spectacular spaces to explore.

It’s the sort of place you want to slow down and wander through — and we’ll have plenty of time to do exactly that.

As part of our day, we’ll also enjoy a private Guided Highlights Tour, taking us through some of the Castle’s most fascinating treasures, followed by a Crystal Sound Healing experience in the beautiful Peace Dome. ✨

And then? We’re heading to Byron Bay. 🌊☀️

We’ll have a couple of hours completely at leisure. Find somewhere fabulous for lunch, wander the shops, head down to the beach, grab a cocktail… or do a bit of everything. You can hang out with the group or do your own thing - that's the beauty of Flourish.

Then jump back aboard and let us drive you home.

Come with a friend, or book a seat on your own. Either way, you’ll have a group of fabulous ladies to spend the day with.

But you'll need to be quick. There are only 10 spots available on this small group adventure.

📅 Saturday 3 October
🚌 Departing Mermaid Waters
💎 Crystal Castle & Shambhala Gardens
✨ Private Guided Highlights Tour
🎶 Crystal Sound Healing in the Peace Dome
🌊 Free time in Byron Bay
🎟️ $169 per person

✨ SAVE THE DATE, GOLD COAST LADIES! ✨

🚌 Saturday 3 October 2026

Get ready for a beautiful Flourish Ladies Day Out! 💕 We’re planning a full day of connection, adventure, stunning scenery and plenty of fun as we travel from Broadbeach to Crystal Castle and Byron Bay.

💎 OUR FIRST STOP — CRYSTAL CASTLE

Nestled amongst 10 hectares of beautiful subtropical gardens in the Byron Bay hinterland, Crystal Castle is home to an extraordinary collection of giant crystals — including crystals around 120 MILLION years old and the incredible Enchanted Cave, a 20-tonne amethyst geode!

But here's the best part…

The Flourish ladies will be going in before the gates even open to the public! 😍

We've arranged an exclusive 2-hour private group experience just for us, including:

✨ Exclusive early entry
☕ Hot breakfast with tea & coffee in the Lotus Café
💎 Our own dedicated host
🌿 30-minute private guided Highlights Tour
🛍️ Private shopping in all four Castle Jewels boutiques before they open to the public

Imagine having this magical place almost to ourselves before the day's visitors arrive. 💕

🌊 THEN IT'S ON TO BYRON BAY!

Next we'll head to the iconic Cape Byron Lighthouse to take in those spectacular coastal views, before making our way into Byron.

You can join us at the Byron Bay Beach Hotel for an optional lunch or just do your own thing while you're there. Your adventure, your way.

Whether you come with girlfriends or join us on your own, this is the perfect opportunity to enjoy a special day out, meet like-minded women and make new friendships.

🎟️ Tickets aren't on sale just yet…

But we'd love to know if you're interested!

👇 COMMENT “YES” if you'd like to be one of the first to hear when tickets are released.

📅 Saturday 3 October 2026
📍 Broadbeach → Crystal Castle → Byron Bay → Broadbeach

A private Crystal Castle experience, breakfast, giant crystals, beautiful gardens, Byron Bay, lunch, coastal views and a bus full of Flourish ladies…

Now THAT sounds like a pretty fabulous Saturday. 💕✨

Who's coming? 🙋‍♀️

16/08/2026

Today in Hobart we had an awesome bunch of ladies attend our walk and talk - and our next Gold Coast one is just around the corner. If you’d like to get out and make some new friendships with other Gold Coast ladies, you can register here:

At Flourish Experiences, whether it’s an organised walk, a winery lunch, a night at the theatre or a trip away, the objective is always the same — creating opportunities for women to get out, experience new things and, most importantly, meet new people. 💛

And today was a perfect example of that. Some ladies came with friends, some came on their own. We can’t wait to meet more women at another Flourish Gold Coast event soon.

Because you really can never have too many friends. ✨
