Joining us from the across the Tasman, we are delighted to introduce our guest speaker for our night of celebrations.

Laurinda has faced her share of struggles, including two battles with cancer that shook her to her core. Instead of letting these challenges define her, she has used them as fuel to her own superpower: Resilience.  And it hasn’t been an easy road.  

Laurinda's candid sharing of her journey provides a powerful testament to the human spirit. Her struggles with cancer and subsequent battle with depression are a poignant reminder of life's challenges. Yet, she found the strength to persevere, focusing on small steps and celebrating every victory, no matter how minor.  Her journey has taught her that healing and growth aren’t linear – they’re downright messy, unpredictable, and deeply personal emphasising the importance of self-compassion.  

What kept her going was a commitment to herself, her goals, and the belief that your past does not have to hold you back, instead it can motivate you to take control of your life.  She approaches every challenge now, whether it’s a personal milestone or a daunting 30km walk, with the same mindset: “Start from scratch if you have to, but keep going!”

Her story is proof that we all have the ability to rise, to grow, and to thrive – one step at a time. 

  Celebrate your incredible achievement with a night of glamour and inspiration. 

Join your host and guest speaker for a memorable evening, beginning with a sparkling cocktail party at the Garden Terrace overlooking the Biosphere. Indulge in delectable canapés and bubbly as you reconnect with fellow adventurers and newly made friends.
 

Savour a delicious three-course meal, prepared by a private chef, as you listen to inspiring stories from special guest speakers. 

Tonight is your night of the year!  The perfect opportunity to unwind, recharge, and celebrate your achievements.
