Weight of The World is hosting a high tea to connect support systems and sufferers of eating disorders.
Felicity Phillips has lived through the silent chaos of an eating disorder; the control, the shame, the obsession, and eventually, the slow rebuilding of life.
Now a final-year medicine student and passionate mental health advocate, she’s turned her lived experience into something gently radical.
Weight of the World is a high tea event inviting people from all walks of life to come together and talk openly about body image, identity, and what it means to feel at home in ourselves.

Born from her own recovery and her frustration with a culture that celebrates thinness but silences suffering, Weight of the World is for anyone who’s ever felt the pressure to shrink themselves, question their worth, or stay quiet about what they’re going through.
It’s for friends, carers, clinicians, creatives, and curious minds who want to challenge the world we’re in, and help build a softer one. It’s for anyone wanting to support those suffering.
Weight of the World will be hosted at the simply breathtaking Campbell Point House, a European-style estate nestled on the edge of Lake Connewarre.
With manicured gardens, serene lake views, and elegant interiors, it’s the perfect backdrop for a day of connection, reflection, and celebration.
Think warm winter elegance, sun-dappled terraces and brave, beautiful storytelling, a space where people feel less alone in their struggles and more connected in their healing. The quiet power of being seen.
A place where no one has to prove their pain to be welcomed, and where the goal isn’t to fix anyone, but to hold space for one another.

In a world where social media filters, body trends, and the medicalisation of weight loss are making it harder to feel at home in your body, Weight of the World offers something softer.
Weight of the World is a response to rising body dissatisfaction, the re-glorification of thinness, and the exhausting expectations that tell us we must always be better, smaller, quieter.
It’s an invitation to sit down, share stories, and remind each other that we were never meant to carry this weight alone.
Felicity invites you to ‘gather your people, your friends, your parents, your self, and spend the day lifting each other up.’
“Together, we’ll share in honest conversation, challenge the cultural noise that tells us we’re never enough; not thin enough, not pretty enough, not worthy enough, and instead create space for softness, strength, and self-celebration. It’s not just a high tea. It’s a quiet rebellion, and you’re invited.”
This event is designed to foster meaningful conversations, provide resources, and advocate for better support systems. Limited to 50 guests to ensure an intimate and supportive setting.
