A few months after I co-hosted the first in-person NSW screening of the acclaimed documentary Below the Belt (Directed by Shannon Cohn, Executive Produced by Hillary Clinton) - I began hosting the Endo Circle at Coastal Wellness Cottage as invited by Zoe Papadatos, the owner.
Little did I know where it would all lead. I had the idea to host an endo workshop for endometriosis patients and practitioners halfway through the ten weekly Endo Circle and Endo Webinar Series.
This was the first time I would put on a self-funded event under the name Invisible Iconic. I am very grateful to the following people for their support and involvement in the day:
