The Women

  • Hannah Scott

    Hannah is the co-founder of Ember Collaborative and Wierd, bringing over a decade of experience in the events industry. She has produced and curated numerous events of her own, as well as contributed to festivals across Australia in a variety of roles. After seven years of intermittent travel, Hannah now focuses her energy on developing Ember while continuing to freelance for other events. Beyond her professional life, she spends her time meditating, hiking, and rollerblading.

  • Dayna Santana

    Dayna Santana is a researcher-creative and former humanitarian aid worker based on Gadigal land. Through her various projects, Dayna is working toward a fairer and more equal world, where people relate to each other on the basis of their shared humanity, and where harmful gender norms and inequalities are relics of the past. She is currently completing her Ph.D at the University of Sydney in Gender and Cultural Studies. As a core team member of Ember, Dayna aims to help people connect genuinely, empower free self-expression, and spark creative and intellectual curiosity. When not working, you’ll find her hiking local trails, lying in the sun, lost in a novel, or planning her next adventure.

  • Chloe Corben

    Chloe, co-founder of Ember Collaborative, is a naturopath, doula, and culinary alchemist devoted to holistic health and community care. She creates nourishing food and herbal medicine for every season of life, with a special love for postpartum support. With years of event organisation under her belt, Chloe continues to pour her energy into Ember as well as her meal delivery and catering business, weaving care, creativity, and flavour into everything she serves.

Why Ember?

An ember represents potential, resilience and growth. It may be small, but with the right conditions, it can spark something powerful. Embers endure. They stay alive even in tough conditions, much like the women who are part of our gatherings. And when brought together, embers can fuel a stronger, more lasting fire. In the same way, our collaborative thrives on connection, shared purpose, and collective strength. Ember represents what happens when women come together: a spark becomes something enduring.

An ember has ignited.
