Reflections on presence, transition, and the long arc of being human.

Facilitator • Speaker • Writer • Retreats

Welcome

I’m Julie Smerdon. I’ve spent three decades teaching people how to stay grounded through life’s changing seasons. I write from lived experience. I teach, I host retreats, and I work with leaders and organisations navigating the human side of change.

On Substack I explore the seasons of being human. The ways we lose ourselves and find our way back. The steady work of living a life that feels like your own.

I’m so glad you’re here.

— Julie

Group Facilitation & Speaking

I work with organisations and groups navigating disruption, change, and the human side of performance. Through keynote speaking and workshop facilitation, I help people stay grounded, reconnect with their own thinking, and leave with a clearer sense of what's possible. If you'd like to bring this work to your organisation or event, I'd love to hear from you.

The Vibrant Pathway

If you're in your 50s or 60s and starting to ask bigger questions about what comes next, The Vibrant Pathway is where those questions get explored. I created this program to approach ageing as a practice rather than a problem. The question at the centre of it: what does it actually mean to flourish from here?

Join a Retreat

Something happens when people step away from their ordinary lives and gather in a beautiful place. The learning goes deeper, the connections are real, and you leave different from how you arrived. I've been running international retreats for over a decade and they remain some of the most meaningful work I do.

I humbly acknowledge the Turrbal and Jaggera people, the traditional owners of this land that I have the privilege to work and play upon. I pay my deepest respect to their elders, past, present and emerging, and offer my gratitude for their custodianship of this extraordinary part of the world. May we celebrate the stories, culture and traditions of the Elders of all indigenous communities who also work and live on this land.
