February is the month when thousands of Australians hit pause on alcohol and say yes to more energy, more clarity and more connection.
So we’re bringing Sip & Shine back for a special FebFast edition.
Location: MotHs Hub
Date: Saturday 7th February
Time: 2:30pm-4:00pm
Price: $5 (includes tasters, ingredients and nibbles)
This event isn’t about rules or restrictions. It’s about discovering how good it feels to celebrate with a clear head, a happy liver and a glass full of something delicious.
Led by certified Life and Wellbeing Coach Emma Gilmour, who will once again share her journey to thriving alcohol-free, this feel-good workshop will give you the tools, flavours and inspiration to make February (and beyond) feel fresh, fun and full of possibility.
You’ll enjoy:
• A new lineup of vibrant summer mocktails
• Delicious tasters from leading alcohol-free brands
• A hands-on DIY mixology station
• Ideas for navigating social gatherings with confidence and joy
• Take-home recipes to power you through the month
Whether you’re going dry for charity, curious about cutting back, or simply looking for beautiful drinks that don’t leave you dusty the next day, this is your space to sip, laugh, learn and connect.
Raise a glass to mornings that feel amazing, celebrations that hit differently, and a February full of clarity, energy and sparkle.
What you’ll experience
• mocktail masterclass – Learn how to balance flavours and create beautiful drinks that still feel like a celebration.
• tasters of non-alcoholic drinks so you can try before you buy.
• Take-home recipes – Impress your guests (and your liver) at your next gathering.
Why it’s worth raising your glass (of sparkling water)
Cutting back on alcohol over summer isn’t about being a buzzkill — it’s about keeping your energy, mood and wellbeing on your side.
Less alcohol means:
Better sleep, skin and focus (and who doesn’t want that in December?)
More genuine connection with the people you love
Fewer awkward dance-floor regrets
And waking up feeling fresh enough to enjoy the day after the party
This is an afternoon for anyone (guys and gals) who want to celebrate more mindfully, discover new flavours, and have a good laugh along the way.
