The Proud Mary Rising Women’s Wellness Retreat exists to create spaces where women can gather, connect, and grow together. In today’s world of endless scrolling, we bridge the gap between digital noise and authentic, transformative engagement.

Guest Speaker
We are absolutely delighted to announce that award-winning performer Gillian Cosgriff will be joining us at the retreat.
Gillian is a singer, writer, actor, composer, musician and comedian, and a graduate of the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA). Her 2023 solo show Actually, Good received rave reviews at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, winning both Most Outstanding Show and the Golden Gibbo Award for Best Independent Show.
Her theatre credits include Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Company, Godspell and Come Rain or Come Shine, alongside numerous television appearances including Offspring, Thank God You’re Here, Fisk, Spicks and Specks and more.
Gillian has toured extensively across Australia and internationally with her solo comedy and cabaret performances, appearing at the Adelaide Cabaret Festival, Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Edinburgh Fringe Festival and Soho Theatre in London.
We are thrilled to welcome Gillian to the retreat, where she will perform on Saturday evening and join our Sunday panel discussion — a conversation centred around resilience, creative persistence and the communities that shape who we become.
It is a privilege to have such an accomplished and thoughtful voice contributing to this inaugural retreat.
