Welcome

Are you looking for connections with like-minded women?

We know where to find them

Being a rural woman can be isolating sometimes and it can be a challenge to find like minded people in your local area! We understand that fitting in and standing out aren’t always compatible and rural living can be restrictive for achieving your true potential. Our research during the past 6 years has shown that rural women who participate in a powerful online community like THE Rural Woman become more closely connected in their local community, like their ‘tribe’ magically appears in their town after all these years of feeling alone.

It’s just one of the benefits of being a part of THE Rural Woman!

Learn. Teach. People Who Get It. #alltheanswersliewithin

In rural communities we’ve become very used to ‘experts’ from the ‘outside’ telling us what to do…the fly in fly out consultant or trainer from the city is a common experience.

Not with THE Rural Woman! We value life-long learning from contextually appropriate sources – which means ALL of our hosts and experts are women with lived experience of rural life and many years of expertise in their chosen field. One day you might be the learner and the next, the teacher – that’s what we love about THE Rural Woman.

No subject off limits.
No solution impossible.

THE Rural Woman is a safe space to explore your ‘edges’ to celebrate your wins, to ask difficult questions, to get honest perspectives, practical solutions and great ideas or next steps. With 700+ active members, it’s likely that someone has been through what you are going through and you can tap into their wisdom on any subject area. Rural women are brilliant connectors, so it’s likely if someone doesn’t know it, they know someone who does and can make the connections for you!

Isolation is a superpower

Loneliness and isolation can be a very real and impactful experience for women living in rural areas, but with the incredible digital access we have now and the tools we use, it doesn’t have to be that way.

We have spent the past 7 years creating a safe, supportive, nurturing and self-responsible space where rural women can share, learn and grow together. We’ve been through it all together, droughts, floods, fires, a global pandemic and the women who lean into this community – they are the true definition of resilience and resourcefulness.

Ready to bloom where you are?

When a rural woman blooms, all around her blooms too. It’s a powerful and deeply felt ripple, which is proudly sweeping across the world..

Our commitment is to meet rural women where they are and connect them to the tools, networks and opportunities they need to #thrive in their personal life, work, business and community – right wherever they are! In a digital age, we are blessed with so many opportunities to remotely deliver support in creative and profoundly life-changing ways!

We want all rural women to be able to #livelocalgrowglobal.

How Can We Support You?

We started in 2014, as a Company with a mission to supporting rural women allowing reconnection to their most powerful voices. Providing platforms from which that voice can be amplified. We are now a member owned Cooperative focused on the advancement of rural women and girls. While our structure has changed, our intent and passion for supporting rural women has only strengthened.
