Stress, wellbeing, and the seasons we weather @ Minnipa

A practical workshop for rural women navigating stress, uncertainty and the pressure of ongoing dry conditions.

About

Do you ever feel like you reach a certain level of stress, and your brain just shuts down under the pressure?

When you’re juggling so much that you can’t think straight, and the storm of things you can’t control continues to rage on around you – how can you get your brain back online? This workshop shines a light on what’s really happening in your mind and body when stress takes hold. You’ll learn simple, practical techniques to clear the mental fog and restore your ability to make calm, confident decisions –not just in the high pressure moments, but long term.

We’ll explore the physiological response, plus seven key areas that support personal wellbeing and clear thinking. You’ll walk away with strategies you can actually use – to steady yourself in challenging times, and take care of the one person who keeps everything else going: you.
