Grassroots community in Margaret River inviting women and non-binary people to step away from digital noise

A grassroots community movement in Margaret River is inviting women and non-binary people to step away from digital noise and reconnect with nature. No Signal, founded by documentary photographer Danielle Fitzgerald, is a monthly walk bringing together creatives, mothers and community members looking for something quieter, more human, and grounded. The next community walk is set for Saturday May 9 at 8.30am along the Wadandi Track with participants gathering for a low-grade 5km walk designed to be accessible and pressure-free. Ms Fitzgerald said the project was about creating space for real connection. ‘I think people are craving something more analogue again. In a world of screens, social media and AI, this is just about being outside and feeling connected as a community,” she said. “A lot of us are work from home or are freelance creatives down here, I wanted to create a space for us to come together, away from our silos. “This walk has been part of my daily routine for years. When I first moved here, I felt really isolated. I started inviting people to join me, just to connect and be outside. “It’s something that’s honestly saved me more times than I can say.” The No Signal walks now run monthly, with plans to grow the community through offline gatherings and workshops centred around art, photography and creative connection.
