3000 years in the future, matriarchal rule dominates the globe, but each continent has developed its version in isolation. Invited to Havilah as part of the first diplomatic exchange in centuries, journalist Kennedy Saxon is impressed by Havilah's femtopia. Compared to her homeland, Lamericas one, their society is surprisingly progressive.

But as Kennedy traverses more of the Great Southern Land, she begins to suspect her hosts aren't being entirely honest. Is it possible that feminism has gone too far?  

Eve’s Return marked the end of toxic masculinity, and brought forth a New Dawn, but was something vital lost in that exchange? If facing the truth is hard for Kennedy, how much harder will it be for Havilah to see their ugly reality?

December 5th to 7th, 2025, I had my first 'Art from the Heart' retreat at The Abbey, Raymond Island, Victoria.

With 11 participants, including our first male member of one of my art workshops PLUS our youngest member ever, a sweet little 5 month old, it was a lovely 3 day experience where we explored our creativity through a Safe Space meditation (based on the work of Dr Diane Divett) and different art exercises such as collage, colour and emotional exploration and using our hands to heal from past hurts and set future goals through art.

All art exercises in my workshops are offered in a way that anyone, at any level of creativity, from novice to expert artist, can participate and enjoy making art for themselves, whether their piece is just for fun or whether they deicde to go deeper and use the exercise as a healing opportunity.

Andrea Do Santos was born in Montevideo, Uruguay in 1977. She migrated with her family to Australia when she was nearly three years old. From a young age she excelled in story writing and the creative arts, especially drawing and painting. She has traveled extensively overseas including Ireland, England, Mexico, Peru, Bolivia, Uruguay, New Zealand, Jamaica, the United States of America and Singapore. There are many other countries she would like to visit, and she would love to see more of Australia.

During her twenties she studied many forms of religions and spiritual beliefs, eventually recommitting to Christianity. Her fascination with different cultures, spirituality and social justice issues are themes she often explores through her artwork and writing. She is currently studying to be a Spiritual Director and has run workshops for women using art as a tool towards healing.

In her personal life Andrea has overcome drug addiction and mental health struggles. During her 30s she developed a chronic illness that has led to becoming disabled. These experiences eventuated in her working as an advocate for those with mental illness and disabilities. She is passionate about the rights of women. As a mother and a sister to 3 brothers, she is also passionate about Men’s Issues.

She has self-published Eve’s Return.
