WELL-BEING
Hosted by THE Rural Woman Founder, Rebel Black, these weekly sessions invite you to put YOU FIRST.
Hosted online at 730am (NSW time) on a Thursday (4 sessions each month), Rebel focuses on a different topic each month that will help you dive in the philosophy, spirituality, sensory and metaphysical experience of being a well rural woman.
Rebel calls these classes – THE Return to Whole.
January – My Dream Is Not Your Dream – Giving ourselves permission to truly dream, unencumbered by other people’s, societies and social media judgments. Overcoming imposter syndrome, letting go of stuff we will uncover that doesn’t belong to us and settling into the freedom and satisfaction the embodiment of our true dreams brings.
February – All THE Answers Lie Within – Colonization has happened to all of us, somewhere along the way enough someone’s told us – you don’t have the answers, we do! But we are sovereign beings and it’s time to reclaim that understanding. The wisdom and answers you are looking for, for yourself are not outside of you, let’s explore how you can tap into the font of all knowledge that is YOU!
March – BEING – WELL – As we set our intention to #thrive #heal and #evolve it’s important that we understand what ‘well’ and ‘health’ these three things actually mean to us. When we are clear on what we want, we can take positive steps in the direction of our well-being.
April – THE End of Suffering – By design (religion, big systems, colonization) so many people are wired for suffering and it does not serve us to operate from this place. Your suffering does not serve you or humanity. It’s time to let it go.
May – Waking Up – There are many great teachers who say it’s not about ‘becoming’ a better version of ourselves, but ‘remembering’ who we truly are. There is an art in awareness that is worth cultivating and exploring so you can reclaim rituals, principles and understanding that serves you while also interrupting patterns that don’t belong to you and won’t get you where you want to go
June – Harnessing Energy – We are all energy, and yet, we believe and think and operate as if we are matter, are you ready to be connected to an endless supply of energy that will inspire, motivate and imbue your life with ease
August – Be THE Change You Want To See In The World – Ghandi said ‘be the change you want to see in the world’ which is an invitation to lead. In our haste to ‘get what we want’ we can sometimes fall into the ‘eat pray love’ syndrome and quit everything (or big things) only to discover – where you go, there you are! So get ready to get comfortable with discomfort as you #evolve and change and lead with integrity in all aspects of your life.
September – The Journey is THE Destination – When we accept that we will never be ‘there’ and that even when we’ve conquered one mountain – there are just more mountains to climb, then we can achieve anything we desire. The more you ‘trust the process’ and relish every moment of it – the richer life is!
October – Surrender – Surrender isn’t giving up – it’s about completely letting go of the need for the outcome to be what you think it should be and simply allowing it to be what it is. It’s a mastery and an art and it’s worthwhile learning how to do!
November – Mitigating Boom & Bust To Reclaim Peace – How do you achieve peace in a constantly changing environment? If you want mastery you need to learn how and a great place to start is identifying the pattern of ‘boom or bust’, ‘all or nothing’ ‘fly in fly out’ we have cultivated well in rural communities and counter that with consistency and cadence…then we can achieve peace. We all want peace (world peace and peace on earth), but what if the attainment of the global surrender can only come when each individual claims their own inner peace – and in this crazy stressed out world at pace – how do we cultivate inner peace so we can inspire others to do the same?
December – The Way of THE Bird – THE Bowerbird Philosophy – The male bowerbird is a master of design – he borrows from the environment around him to build an impressive structure, filled with glittering jewels to impress his lady – and win the prize. How can we learn from him in our lives to make the most of what we have while getting what we want and ‘borrowing’ the best from others to build our own beautiful bower to attract what we want and need in life.
