24.01.2022 Loving this journey so far and would encourage anyone with an interest in indigenous wisdom to walk the path with us...thank you @Caroline Pidcock for pointing me in the right direction

24.01.2022 In need of a little life wisdom right about now? It is 60 years since Jane Goodall skipped her comfortable life in the UK and ventured into the Gombe in Nigeria to explore and nurture her curiosity for the non-human world. The wide-ranging gifts that gutsy decision has created continue. This gift is a truly beautiful hour with her

23.01.2022 Jiman/Bundjalung woman and Emeritus Professor, Judy Atkinson invites us all to always carry a little song in our dilly bag, over our shoulder, especially when we are feeling self doubt or emotional pain. We can just reach around and pull it out whenever we need to. Judy quoted Alaskan woman Libby Roderick’s song how could anyone ever tell you, you are anything less than beautiful... What’s your song and if you’ve not thought about this before, what might it be? Libby’s s...ong might be a good place to start Photo credit: Tammie Joskie @dumbofeather #heliotropiawellbeing #heliotropiafamilies #judyatkinson #wakeupwalktowards #dumbofeather #emotionalwellbeing #firstnations #createhopenotfear #thisbumpyroadwecalllife #natureknows #wearenature #indigenouswisdom #wellbeingjourney #positivemindset #selfcompassion #selfcompassionjourney #whatsyoursong See more

19.01.2022 I have a fabulous free webinar planned for Monday November 30th at 7pm AEDT. This will be the 23rd Heliotropia Wellbeing webinar for covid19 and it’s been so wonderful to bring them to you. Sleep is so utterly integral to our wellbeing and if 2020 has been a toss’n’turn year for you, you’re not alone. This webinar is for you. You’ll find a link here or on the Heliotropia website. Calming, practical, free...it would be just great to have you in the room. Why not share with a friend? https://us02web.zoom.us//register/WN_fBJSkOonQhS6HXppoHTrKQ

19.01.2022 Sleep is one of the three big fundamentals of life...alongside eating and breathing. Sleep keeps us synchronised as organisms and without synchrony, we’re in a world of trouble. For many of us, the pandemic has truly messed with our sleep.... Join Heliotropia on Monday November 30th for a free wellbeing webinar: The Psychology of Sleep. We’ll briefly explore the research and then move onto practical ways to strengthen our sleep health, especially at times like these. It would be great to have you in the room. Please forward to a friend who might also benefit. Link to register here https://us02web.zoom.us//register/WN_fBJSkOonQhS6HXppoHTrKQ

19.01.2022 Just such a beautiful and heliotropic cause

19.01.2022 This year I have had such a wonderful time putting together free and hopefully helpful Heliotropia Wellbeing webinars. A huge thank you to all of you who have supported this work by coming along each week and providing great feedback. The final two webinars for 2020 are coming up and I warmly invite you to join me. ... The final webinars for 2020 are: ~THE PSYCHOLOGY OF SLEEP (November 30) ~MY WELLBEING PLAN FOR 2021 (December 14) Both will be filled with practical ideas to implement right away. Unlike regular zoom meetings, Heliotropia Wellbeing webinars allow you to participate and learn in privacy. You can register here: https://heliotropia.com.au/webinars

19.01.2022 What will you do this coming week? Here are a few heliotropic ideas do some reading and learning about the country you’re living, working and playing on and also love... learn and remember five important aspects of culture regarding country and share them in conversation with others you know in your local area learn a few language words this week, perhaps for plants, birds and animals on country. Write them down, practise them...know them and use them write your own acknowledgement of country that is informed by some of the learning you’re doing this week walk on country and practise deep listening and whole body mindful sensing - dadirri seek out NAIDOC week activities on country and get involved meet an indigenous person and don’t talk, just listen deeply read an indigenous wisdom story to a child you love listen to music created by Indigenous artists watch a documentary or feature film created by Indigenous artists read the Uluru Statement and see if you can learn parts of it by heart (tip: if you read it everyday twice a day, you’ll get there) reflect deeply on your own underlying assumptions...examine them, uncover them, look at them from all angles, challenge and question them consciously unlearn some of the stuff you’re carrying around (see assumptions above) that no longer serves you or anyone else Above all, be humble and generous and grateful. Open your mind, heart and hands to the simply extraordinary gift that is Indigenous Wisdom

15.01.2022 What might it feel like to step away from screens this weekend? It will all be there waiting for you after some time away. Humans are multi sensory beings and time in nature provides us with the greatest way to bring our senses to life

15.01.2022 This will be a beautiful and heliotropic conversation between poet Aimee Nezukhumatathil and author, John Freeman about the wonders of the natural world.

15.01.2022 On Remembrance Day, it feels good to remember...

14.01.2022 Ever suddenly realise you need to pull back and read the room? When we are activating our strengths, it is incredibly valuable to appreciate light and shade. My latest blog explores how we might begin to fine tune our strengths so that they fit the context. Enjoy

14.01.2022 Building healthy relationships begins with stepping away from an ego-awareness - what am I getting from this?... and then stepping towards an eco-awareness - how can we contribute to one another’s health and wellbeing, thereby improving the wellbeing of the whole? Join me on Monday November 2nd at 7pm (AEDT) to further explore making the shift from Me to We to Us. ‘In Right Relationship’ is a 45minute free wellbeing webinar and you are warmly invited.

14.01.2022 Researcher Matthew Walker (UCLA) likes to describe SLEEP as the Swiss army knife of health and wellbeing. Great sleep brings benefits to every single mind and body function we have. Join me this time tomorrow (Monday November 30th at 7pm AEDT) for Heliotropia Wellbeing's free wellbeing webinar on Sleep. This calming and practical session will focus on sleep health and why it is so fundamental to our lives.

13.01.2022 Creating an ecosystem of wellbeing begins with our relationships. The reciprocal nature of relationships requires moment to moment effort and the rewards are incredible when we get it right. When our relationships are sound, co-regulation kicks inwe literally become one another’s co-regulators and this allows us to be intimate and playful together. If this research interests you, I am here to make it very practical. Please join Heliotropia for a free wellbeing webinar on Monday, November 2nd at 7pm (AEDT).

03.01.2022 Talking with constructive journalism advocate @zoe_stino recently about the wellbeing of young Australians was so much fun, if a little nerve wracking LIVE.
