Ruach- Breathe
Ruach is an inclusive gathering space where individuals of all backgrounds can share in authentic conversations and connect with the Divine Spirit.
Ruach isn’t a brand, an organisation or an event.
We are an organic network of people who connect together to find, and support others to find, space to breathe in our busy world.
From our beautiful corner of The Lakes we connect in a variety of ways, so step in and find your space to breathe.
With 4 Branches of Living we offer an ecosystem of rest, reconnection and encounter.
Find your Space to Breathe
Connect
Our Connect activities are social, places to Laugh, Live and Love together, open to all.
We are fully inclusive with a “put it on the tab” approach, So don’t worry if you can’t afford a coffee one week, Or have forgotten your wallet and if you can why not pay it forward so someone else can “put it on the tab”.
Upcoming Events can be seen on our Facebook Events our regular gatherings include
Community Table
Gather in a cafe for a chat, no strings no need to know anyone.

Parenting
The arrival of a child is a time when space to breathe can be hard to find. The Ruach network offers practical and emotional support to all new parents.
We have a Library of Things (baby carriers, cloth nappies, and other parenting tools!)
Ante and Post Natal Meditation and Mindfullness
Booked in 6 week blocks (and pay as you feel) you and baby can come together with other parents and learn techniques for finding calm and relaxation together. These sessions are perfect for expecting parents and those in the 4th trimester.

However your family came to be, however you feed, however you find parenting, you’ll find safe non-judgemental Space to Breathe in the Ruach network.
Meditate
Seeking inner peace and finding our True Selves as we are created to be is a core value for Ruach. In meditation we make space for the Divine Spirit to whisper to us.
Whether you’re experienced at finding your inner calm, or a complete beginner, all our mediate gatherings are suitable and safe spaces for you.
With both pop up events and regular gatherings you can be sure to find the right Space to Breathe. Check the Facebook Events Page for upcoming events
Meditation for Beginners

Sacred Circle
Sacred Circle gatherings blend ancient wisdom and ritual with modern spirituality.
Here are spaces where questions are welcome, where we make intentional and safe space to breathe, and explore the Divine together.
See the facebook events page for upcoming events
Eucharist
An ancient ritual which creates the space to encounter the Divine among us, this practice has sustained mystics and seekers for 2000 years, affording a glimpse of eternity and an opportunity for spiritual growth around a table of inclusivity
Story Circle
Storytelling is as old as humanity itself. In these spaces we co-create new stories, and share in stories of ancient wisdom “around the fire of Life”
Our Core Values
Ruach holds to core values that make safe Space to Breathe for All
It’s on the Tab
All our gatherings are Pay as you Feel. Buy yourself a coffee or “put it on the tab” we welcome donations from those in the network who can support the community
Everyone is Welcome
We are radically inclusive. Like all networks we will get it wrong, but this is a space where you can speak up, be yourself, be seen and be loved for being you. Whoever you are, whatever you are experiencing.
We are Collaborative And Curious
There is no single right way to be curious about the world, to Encounter The Divine, or to love one another like Jesus. We are open to learn from one another, and seek to bless the world with God’s good news.
