ABOUT
Reverence Events
Grace and Willow Francis began working together in 2008. Since then, they’ve been dedicated to providing educational sessions, meditation classes, coaching, and transformative ceremonial events like Cacao Ceremonies.
Their mission is clear and unwavering: to empower individuals in facing life’s challenges and to forge deeper connections with life’s extraordinary moments and mystery.
Collaborating closely, they bring complementary skills and facilitation styles to the table, creating a formidable force for driving positive change within individuals and communities.
Together, Grace and Willow offer over fifty years of combined experience, spanning both the modern medical field and holistic health modalities. They are deeply committed to sharing this wealth of knowledge in a way that’s both potent and accessible.
Their work is deeply influenced by the teachings and practices of The HeartMath Institute, a globally revered research and education organisation. With their vision of ‘global coherence,’ HeartMath strive to contribute to a shift in global consciousness, from instability and discord to compassionate care, cooperation, and increasing peace.
In addition to their work with HeartMath, they guide meditation classes, facilitate mindfulness practices, and host ceremonial events. These offerings provide individuals with a space for collective support, rejuvenation, and a profound connection to the transcendent essence of life.
Willow Francis
Willow has spent 30 years supporting others in their journey towards mental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing. Initially caring and supporting others as a nurse and then immersed in upskilling in complementary therapies and wisdom traditions. Willow became Australia’s top HeartMath Institute coach and has assisted hundreds of individuals in navigating mental, emotional and existential challenges.
Today, he helps others break free from emotional patterns and discover the joy and meaning in daily life. He teaches meditation .
Willow believes that when one person changes their perspective, it ripples out, alleviating suffering for others—one heart at a time.
Grace Francis
Even as a child, Grace sensed that her path would lead her to a career where compassion met action, and where people could find strength in the face of adversity.
Her journey began as a community-based physiotherapist, where she dove into the heart of family life, working with children, schools, and entire communities. Partnering with a diverse team of social workers, psychologists, occupational therapists, and speech therapists, Grace quickly realized the power of collaboration. Together, they were able to offer not just physical support, but a holistic approach that addressed the full spectrum of a family’s needs.
As Grace’s career evolved, so did her vision. She began to feel drawn to a deeper, more transformative way of supporting others—one that would nurture not only the body, but the mind and spirit. In 2008, she teamed up with Willow Francis, and together they created something truly special: a series of training programs, workshops, and meditation events designed to promote physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Their mission? To empower individuals to face life’s toughest challenges while rediscovering its beauty and wonder.
Since 2013, Grace has expanded her expertise as a certified HeartMath Institute coach and trainer, helping people tap into their heart’s wisdom for greater resilience and clarity. She has also trained in mental health first aid and earned a diploma in Chaplaincy and Spiritual Care. Through each new chapter, Catherine’s mission has remained unchanged: to be a steady presence, providing care and support to people navigating life’s ups and downs—no matter what they’re facing.
