Aboriginal Pathways to Women's Self-Advocacy - Riverland

Join the Healing Centre for Griefology in South Australia's Riverland for Rosemary Wanganeen's groundbreaking workshop - 'Aboriginal Pathways to Women's Self-Advocacy: Navigating Cultural Overload to Strengthen Your Potential as an Aboriginal Woman'

In this 1.5 day workshop Rosemary will teach and demonstrate how to use your intuitive intelligence to think critically, independently, creatively and innovatively, and in so doing, you’ll discover your own path to prosperity. 

Stepping into our potential as women - and as Aboriginal women - can feel just as daunting as the fear of failure. But we don’t have to walk this journey alone. This workshop is a culturally safe and supportive space where Rosemary Wanganeen will gently guide you to trust your cultural intuitive intelligence, just as she did. By doing so, she forged a pathway toward her own prosperity, both personally and professionally.

Our cultural intuitive intelligence is deeply connected to our female instincts and ability to read and respond to the world around us. It helps us make decisions strategically and confidently whilst drawing on our lived experiences, emotions, and cultural wisdom. However, when we constantly navigate workplace expectations, advocate for cultural safety, and carry the emotional weight of educating others, plus family challenges and our communities, we can experience cultural overload and fatigue.

This workshop will explore with you how to recognise and manage cultural overload and fatigue, ensuring you have the tools and support to sustain your well-being while creating opportunities for growth. How to set boundaries with confidence will also be discussed, including:

• Recognising that its okay to say ‘No’ without guilt or fear
• Asking for allyship from colleagues so the cultural load is shared
• Encouraging non-Indigenous peers to take responsibility for cultural learning rather than it always falling to Aboriginal women
• How to be your own advocate

With warmth and wisdom, Rosemary will introduce her Seven Phases to Integrating Griefology as a roadmap for navigating personal and professional challenges. She will take you on a journey of discovery, showing how and Aboriginal perspective on loss and grief can offer insights into the barriers that may have blocked your path. This journey will help you think critically, independently, and creatively, giving you the strategies and confidence to advocate for yourself and take action on your dreams, hopes and goals.

Because prosperity remains an idea until you decide what it is for you, and step into it on your terms.
