How’s it going advocating for better transport and places?
Advocating for better walking spaces, bike friendly routes and great places to hang out in can be draining, frustrating – and challenging! It’s a long game. Downheartedness can infect other areas of your life despite your best intentions to be upbeat. Do you want to smell the roses again? Feel less tired? More optimistic when you read emails? Hear yourself be more positive in your conversations? Feel that life has a fresher flavour? It’s possible. A daily mindfulness practice can help support you to bounce back more easily. There are decades of high-quality research into the psychological benefits of mindfulness even in very challenging circumstances. Here’s what’s on offer. A weekly mindfulness class with a short inspiring talk, a guided mindfulness sit and easy ways to start a daily mindfulness practice to continue when the course ends. There’ll be an opportunity to stay online after each session to chat with others in advocacy. Registration details: The class is online. Register here for the meeting details link (you’ll need a Google account). When? Six Wednesdays on 5, 12, 19, 26 June, 3, 10 July 2024 at 6.30 - 7:30 pm Brisbane time (AEST) for an hour with an optional 30 mins to connect with others in transport advocacy and ask questions. What do you need? You don’t need to have experience. Just bring an open-mind and enough video bandwidth to see each other. This is a course requirement for a 2-year Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program and if you find it supports you and buffers against burnout, we'll continue. Who’ll be guiding you? Wendy Nash has a diploma of Insight & Compassion Meditation Teaching, a Somatic Psychotherapy Diploma and a Bachelor of Psychology (Hons). Her honours research project studied the effect of loving-kindness practices on kindness towards others. She’s practised mindfulness for over 20 years with internationally renowned teachers in Australia, Europe and North America and her approach is to make mindfulness easy to apply in daily life. Full Disclosure: This is a course requirement for a 2-year Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program for Wendy. Wendy started Get Around Cabo Carfree because the public and active transport options in Caboolture, South East Queensland, usually led to lots of swearing about the transport situation. Her long-standing mindfulness practice helps her keep sane and she hopes others will find it equally beneficial. Please feel welcome to ask any questions to hello@GetAroundCaboCarfree.com.au and invite others who might be interested.
