In a world that often feels disconnected, Talk With Wisdom offers a space to reconnect – with yourself, others and your community.
Returning to the Noosa Arts Theatre on Wednesday 4 June at 5:30pm, this live event features eight inspiring speakers sharing personal reflections on identity, resilience, purpose and belonging.
Born from the Walk With Wisdom movement – a weekly Friday morning walk that began as a casual riverside meetup and now draws 30–40 locals each week – Talk With Wisdom brings that same spirit of connection to the stage.
“There’s no pressure to be anything but yourself,” co-founder Nikki Ind said. “We show up, listen and leave feeling inspired. ”
Set in a relaxed and welcoming environment, the evening features eight powerful 10-minute talks, a welcome drink and plenty of time to connect before and after the event.
Feature speakers include:
– Matt Golinski: Cooking Up Joy
Celebrity chef Matt Golinski shares how returning to the kitchen helped him rediscover purpose and joy after personal tragedy.
– Sandy Bolton MP: Leading With Heart
Independent MP Sandy Bolton will close the evening with her talk Leading with Heart – a candid reflection on public life, resilience and staying grounded in community.
Sandy first connected with the Walk With Wisdom group after being invited to speak at a Friday morning walk.
“It was real and refreshingly soul enriching in all ways that matter,” Sandy said.
“Noosans creating space for each other – offering support and a sense of belonging. That’s what our community is all about.”
Additional speakers include local coaches and community leaders: Nikki Ind, Paul Francis, Tony Crossin, Michael Hunt, Lisa Murnane and Mal McDonald — each offering stories that are real, relatable, and thought-provoking.
“Community is essential for our wellbeing – mentally, emotionally, and physically,” MC Stacey McCray said.
“Events like this remind us how much better we feel when we come together and can just be ourselves.”
