October 2 marked the Hinterland Women’s Network’s monthly breakfast, held at the Joy Collective on Coral Street, Maleny, in their newly opened Secret Garden space. The event welcomed several new faces, bringing fresh energy to the inspiring morning.
Attendees shared updates from their local businesses and community groups, alongside heartfelt stories about writing for mental health — including poetry as therapy. Topics also included luxury wedding floristry, the challenges of navigating the first year as owner of a local dance studio, and the importance of relying on trusted sources to stay informed about community happenings.
The lush garden setting added to the morning’s charm, offering a relaxed and uplifting environment for connection and conversation among women from diverse industries.
These breakfasts are held on the first Thursday of each month, with the next event scheduled for Thursday, November 6. Follow the Hinterland Women’s Network on Facebook for more details and updates.
