2025-09-21 08:00 - 17:00
Sun Day is a new global day of action to celebrate our rooftop solar success and campaign for all households to access cheap, clean energy.

Celebrate our solar success & raise ambition
Australians lead the world in rooftop solar installations, with 4 million households or a third of homes powered by the sun, and now we’re installing 1000 solar batteries a day!
Together we’re winning in Australia but we’re only halfway there.
More than half of Australians don’t have access to rooftop solar – so we’re campaigning to Raise the Roof and double Australia’s rooftop solar

SAGE Moruya Spring Solstice Dinner

Spring Equinox Ceremony - Balance and Regrowth
2025-09-23 19:00 - 20:30
Hi Lovers of Nature and Awareness,

Geoff Berry is celebrating the Spring Equinox at a new venue in Mogo, where his old friend Narelle Madden is setting up a yoga studio called Practice.
He’ll be weaving in some ecospcyhology – always looking to deepen connection to and build relationships with more-than-human nature at every chance – as well as dropping in some Zen/Insight dharma talk action and brining along a mythic tale or two. This will be interspersed with quiet minutes, to give us the chance to meditate on how this all fits with our everyday life. Coz it don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing 🙂

Numbers are strictly limited; to fit the space and also to keep that intimate, gentle, reflective vibe that works best for moments like this.
Tickets are $20. Hope to see you there.
