A Different Kind of International Women's Day

Sharon Templeton 16 February 2026

Real Conversation. Good Wine. Meaningful Impact.

On Wednesday, 11 March 2026, Temple Day Spa will host something a little different.

Not a formal luncheon. Not a corporate breakfast. Not another event where you feel like you need new heels and a perfectly curated outfit.

This International Women's Day, we're gathering women exactly as they are — in jeans and a white tee — for an afternoon of real conversation, connection and care at the beautiful National Wine Centre of Australia.

Because celebrating women shouldn't feel intimidating. It should feel welcoming.

Why We're Doing This

At Temple Day Spa, we witness women every single day.

We see the ones holding families together. Running businesses. Navigating menopause quietly. Managing stress, ageing parents, teenage daughters, careers and expectations — often all at once.

International Women's Day is an opportunity to pause and say: You matter too.

And this year, we wanted to create a space that reflects what women are actually craving — honest conversation, shared experience, laughter, a glass of wine, and a room that feels safe.

What the Afternoon Will Look Like

Co-hosted by Sharon Templeton and Ali Clarke, the event will include: a relaxed fireside chat about women's health and mental wellbeing; conversations around the changes we experience in our 40s, 50s and beyond; guest speakers sharing lived experience; beautiful wines and canapés; a welcoming space designed for connection.

This is not polished perfection. This is warmth. Humour. Honesty.

The kind of conversation that usually happens in group chats or late-night kitchen table talks. And we can't wait to bring that into the open.

Supporting Treasure Boxes Inc

This event is also about impact. All profits from the afternoon will go to Treasure Boxes Inc — an incredible South Australian charity supporting vulnerable children and families with essential items during times of crisis.

We are deeply proud to partner with an organisation doing such life-changing work in our local community.

When you purchase a ticket, you're not just attending an event. You're helping another woman. Another mother. Another family. And that feels exactly right for International Women's Day.

The Dress Code

Your favourite jeans and a white t-shirt or shirt. That's it.

Because comfort matters. And showing up as yourself matters even more.

Join Us

If you've ever wanted to attend an International Women's Day event that feels genuine, warm and grounded — this is it.

Tickets are limited, and we would love to see you there.

Let's gather. Let's talk. Let's celebrate women in the most human way possible.
