Northern Rivers Region
ANSD Northern Rivers Regional Group was launched in Rous Mill Community Hall, near Alstonville, in northern NSW, on 29 July 2017.
The Northern Rivers ANSD Group meets four times a year for a reflection day, usually on a Saturday between 9.00 and 2.30. Our days begin with a Welcome to Country, when possible with Rev Aunty Dorrie, a Bundjalung Elder and supporter of ANSD in this region.
Our meetings integrate a contemplative dimension into the meetings with times of silence as well as communal time and a shared meal. Morning tea is provided and BYO lunch or dinner to share.
Meeting Location: Rous Mill Hall, Rous Mill, near Alstonville unless otherwise stated.
All are welcome.
The ANSD Northern Rivers Regional representative is Robyn Fitzgerald.

Upcoming Events
Working with your Dreams
Friday 19th July 2019
4.30 for 5.00 – 9.00
Lucy Tierney rsj
Even if we don’t remember our dreams, dream energy is in our lives in the form of “waking dream energy”. This workshop is a being present to a way in which deeper wisdom (than our intellectual reality can imagine or arrive at) can be available to us. For both sleeping dreams remembered and “waking dream energy”, the language of symbols is intrinsic to the dreamscape. Surfacing the pointers of the symbols and then being open to receiving the invitations inherent in the dreamscape is an effective process that brings more harmony between our inner and outer realities and/or brings important new awareness unique to our personal balance to consciousness.
