Cecilia Macaulay 

 

Home harmonising and household reset
Practical culture-creating workshops
Wellbeing talks and professional training

Hello, I’m Cecilia.

I show people simple, often surprising ways to turn their home or workplace into a place of reward and wellbeing.

If you already sense how good life could be, but feel stuck or overwhelmed, you’re likely dealing with an ecosystem problem. Most of us are.

I work with what’s already there, uncovering hidden resources and reshaping the environment so daily life becomes easier, clearer, and more supportive for you and the people around you.

This is my original work, the Togetherness Method.

You may feel called to work with me and add your own chapter to this unfolding way of living. I'd love to be with you for this adventure!

“Nothing short of amazing,” wrote one Airbnb guest.

Making room for new love

After a four-hour harmonising session, a busy professor’s kitchen was open to possibility. It still needed her warmth, so I left her with homework, powered by a newly crystallised sense of her own style.

A year later, dinner parties are back, her artwork is out, and love is on its way.

Harmony for a Neurodiverse permaculture share house

Acceptance is a strong value in this lively, creative household. But goodwill wasn’t enough. Some people’s sensitivities were being worn down by other people’s habits, so the owner called me in to help the house work better for everyone.

“Cecilia helped me overcome massive household overwhelm.

Her method of working to beautify physical space goes deep into emotional and psychic space.

Its a very gentle and nurturing approach, sprinkled with sparkling Cecilia fairy dust magic."

Gardenfarm Declutter and Reset: Making Room for Life

This storybook farm had a sparkling stream, food forests, barnyard animals, and the harmony of a well-written poem. Inside the house, however, cobwebs and clutter were making work, welcome and family visits really hard.

 

Then we found a new groove.

Inner Melbourne Permaculture Guesthouse

For eight years, this was my permaculture playground, where inventive travellers helped turn whimsical, practical ideas into reality: passive water harvesting, costume parties, rent-a-chook.

Togetherness Design began here.

From Office to Party Room with Pop Up shop

‘You move in, and we will move next door’ said my eco-declutter client. We spent a year   creating a realm of beauty, truth and love in suburban Melbourne, to see how far ‘Togetherness Design’ could go.
