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.

The Vibrant Pathway

If you're in your 50's or 60's and are pondering what's possible in this phase of life, The Vibrant Pathway is where those questions get explored. I created this program as a way to approach ageing as a practice rather than a problem, with one question at the centre: What does it REALLY mean to flourish in this chapter?

Join a Retreat

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

Yoga

Join me for a weekly class, in person or online. It's a small, consistent gathering where people come back week after week, not just for the practice but for each other. Your $49 monthly subscription includes the class plus access to a private library of over 100 recorded practices built from nearly 30 years of teaching. Or drop in for $25 and see how it feels!

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.
