Down to Earth Space: September 2026
September at Down to Earth Space 🌿
Our Opening Month — Created by Community, for Community
We’re so excited to open the doors to Down to Earth Space in Newport this September, and what better way to begin than with a whole month of connection, creativity, movement, healing and community.
Our opening month is a celebration of everything we hope Down to Earth Space will become — a welcoming place to slow down, learn something new, meet your neighbours, care for yourself and connect with others.
Throughout September, we have a beautiful collection of classes, workshops and gatherings on offer, including kids yoga, yoga for adults, sound baths, meditation, a men’s circle, creative workshops, art, a tween workshop and a workshop exploring how to handle anxiety.
And we’re kicking everything off with our Grand Opening Community Market Weekend on Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th September — a community fete-style weekend with local people bringing their treasures and creations to sell, live music, raffles and plenty of time to come together and celebrate.
What makes this opening month particularly special is that every class and workshop has been generously donated by members of our community. Our wonderful facilitators are giving their time, skills and energy to help bring this space to life.
All proceeds from our September programme will go towards our opening month and the work of establishing Down to Earth Space as a community wellness space.
So whether you’re looking for a little movement, stillness, creativity, connection or simply a chance to come and see what we’re creating, there’s something for everyone.
Come along. Bring a friend. Meet someone new. Try something different.
This is your space, too.
And we can’t wait to open the doors.

Pacific Sevens Rugby Tournament Coming to Warriewood: Nationwide Nadi Rugby Sevens
Pittwater will come alive with the spirit of Pacific rugby when the Nationwide Nadi Rugby 7’s arrives at Pittwater Rugby Park, Warriewood, on Saturday 24 and Sunday 25 October 2026.
The two-day tournament will feature a major 32-team men’s Rugby Sevens competition alongside a women’s competition, bringing together players, officials, families, supporters and rugby fans for a weekend celebrating grassroots sport, Pacific culture and community.
The Nationwide Nadi Rugby 7’s has been created with a vision that extends well beyond the playing field – to provide grassroots rugby players with an opportunity to showcase their talent, strengthen the connection between the Pacific and Australian rugby communities, and create an event where people from all backgrounds can come together through sport.
Tournament Director Nanise Kennedy said:
“For us, this tournament is about much more than rugby. Rugby is deeply connected to our Pacific culture, our families and our communities. It brings generations together and gives us an opportunity to celebrate who we are while sharing our culture with the wider Australian community.
Through the Nationwide Nadi Rugby 7’s, we want to create a place where everyone feels welcome—Pacific Islanders, Australians and people from all backgrounds. It is about grassroots players showcasing their talent, families coming together, and our younger generation seeing their culture represented proudly through sport.
We are extremely proud to bring this celebration of rugby, culture and community to Pittwater Rugby Park and Sydney.”
Rugby has long played an important role across Fiji and the wider Pacific, extending beyond competition to become a powerful expression of culture, community and connection. The Nationwide Nadi Rugby 7’s will celebrate that relationship by bringing together rugby, Pacific hospitality, families and community in one major weekend.
“The Nationwide Nadi Rugby 7’s Association expresses its sincere gratitude to Nationwide Care Plus for believing in our vision and proudly sponsoring the $50,000 prize money for this tournament. Their generous support is more than a financial contribution — it is a vote of confidence in grassroots rugby, our Pacific community and the opportunities this tournament aims to create for players and families. We are deeply grateful to Nationwide Care Plus for standing with us and helping make this celebration of rugby, culture and community possible.” Ms Kennedy said
The event will also provide an opportunity to celebrate the strong contribution that Fijian and Pacific Island communities continue to make to rugby in Australia – from grassroots clubs through to the highest levels of the game.
With Pittwater Rugby Park providing the setting, organisers hope the tournament will establish a lasting connection between Pacific rugby and Sydney and grow into an event that players, families and supporters look forward to for years to come.

Mick Fanning, Surfing Legend, Sporting Hero, All Heart, in Conversation with Tom Carroll
- Date: Thursday 1 October
- Time: 6- 8pm (Doors open at 5.30)
- Location: Warriewood Community Centre
- (corner of Pittwater and Jacksons Rd, Warriewood: 2 – 4 Jacksons Road)
- Tickets: $25
From the Western Suburbs of Sydney to world surfing glory, 3-time world champion surfer Mick Fanning shares his extraordinary life story in his new memoir, All Heart.
From the tragic loss of three brothers to surviving a life-threatening shark encounter, this book explores how Mick overcame unimaginable hardships, finding strength in the face of devastating grief and fear.
Haunting and inspirational, this is the definitive story of one of Australia’s greatest sporting heroes. On a canvas that stretches from Alaska to Hawaii’s North Shore, it will captivate surf fans as well as readers who’ve never paddled out. Told with raw honesty and a breakneck tempo, All Heart hits with the force of a 50-foot wave.
‘I’ve questioned myself for years about whether I needed to write another book – whether I really wanted to revisit the ecstasy of the highs, the numb discomfort of the lows, or the agonising pain of the losses. For a long time, it felt easier to leave it alone. But I realised there’s value in being honest about the moments that shaped me – the wins, the setbacks and the growth in-between. I had to be willing to explore some of the darker chapters to understand them properly, and that process has been part of the healing. If sharing that journey helps someone else find strength or perspective in their own life, then it’s been worth telling.’ - Mick Fanning
Mick Fanning is a three-time World Champion who has become one of Australia’s most admired sporting figures. Born in Penrith and raised on the Gold Coast, he captured world titles in 2007, 2009 and 2013, earning a reputation for precision, speed and an ability to stay composed when the stakes were highest.
His life has been shaped by experiences far beyond competition, including the passing of his three older brothers and a shark encounter during a 2015 event that was broadcast live across the globe. Those moments profoundly shifted his perspective, strengthening his resilience and gratitude. Now an inductee of the Australian Sporting Hall of Fame, Fanning is also a father, husband and entrepreneur whose influence extends well beyond surfing, defined as much by character and humility as by championship success.
Tom Carroll is a two-time World Champion surfer, ocean adventurer and lifelong student of the sea.
From Pittwater to the world’s most powerful waves, Tom has spent four decades pushing the boundaries of surfing, performance and human potential.
Today, he combines his experience in high-performance surfing with breathwork, meditation and movement, helping people find greater presence, resilience and clarity.
For Tom, the ocean is the ultimate teacher. It demands courage, rewards awareness and reminds us that the greatest breakthroughs often lie just beyond the edge of our comfort zone.
Surf hard. Breathe deep. Stay present. Meet the moment.

The DragonForce 65 has undergone a major transformation to bring the quality and appearance up the high standard set by its bigger brother the DragonFlite 95, without affecting the competitiveness of previous versions. New tooling for the hull sees an increase in hull strength while retaining the same shape and weight. Key rig fittings, the Gooseneck, Compression Strut, Masthead Fitting and Jib Boom front end fittings have been redesigned for maximum efficiency and easier assembly. The new version 6 now comes with 50 micron Mylar film sails with a clean new style. The improvements don't stop there, the digital rudder servo has been given a 10% boost in torque and improved electronics.

Surfing Mums & Dads
Want to join the best Mums (& Dads) group on earth? Surfing Mums Australia is a not for profit organisation with groups across Australia. We take turns surfing and looking after each other’s children.
The Avalon group meets Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 9.30am and the Palm Beach group meets on Thursdays. The Mona Vale group meets Wednesday 9am, Narrabeen on Wednesday at 9:30 am, Dee Why / Long Reef on Friday 9am, Freshwater on Monday at 9am and Manly on Wednesday at 9am.
Our surf swap meet ups welcome parents of all levels, whether you’re a total novice or have been riding waves for a lifetime. Meet ups are run by member volunteer coordinators, and take place at a specific beach location at designated weekly times and days – although some groups switch locations depending on the best beach conditions on that given day. Coordinators post updates on each group’s private Facebook page prior to each meetup, so be sure to check for updates before you go. When you arrive, you’ll be paired up with a parent who will be your surf swap partner. Meet ups generally run for two hours, so there’s potential for each parent to have roughly an hour of ocean time, and an hour of child minding – although new parents may like to work up to this time goal slowly. Parents decide between themselves who’ll surf first, and who’s surfing second. The term surfing is open to interpretation here; you can surf, body board, SUP, go for a beach run or do some laps. However you’d like to spend your ocean time is up to you.
We welcome all levels of surfers, from shredders to absolute newbies, any anyone who cares for a little person is welcome to join.
