View this post on Instagram In exciting news, Narriearra station will be added to the NSW national park estate - the largest acquisition in NPWS history. Spanning 154,000 hectares, Narriearra features habitats not protected by any other national park and nationally significant wetlands fed by the iconic Bulloo River. Located in north west NSW, it is home to more than 25 threatened species including the Grey Falcon and Kultarr and is the last stronghold in NSW for the nationally endangered Grey Grasswren. The property has many Aboriginal heritage items including stone artefacts, tools, and stone arrangements and also features two campsites of the ill-fated Burke and Wills expedition. Together with Sturt National Park and Pindera Downs Aboriginal Area, the reservation of Narriearra will set aside half a million hectares of land for conservation for generations to come. #NSWParks A post shared by NSW National Parks (@nswnationalparks...

View this post on Instagram *Link in Bio* The story of the #UluruStatement is the story of First Nations and starts where all our stories do - with our law. Over the coming weeks we are going to share our story with you. We begin with the law also. Our Story is detailed in the Final Report of the Referendum council and is available online via our website UluruStatement.org (link in bio).

In My Blood It Runs brings to the conversation the story of a 10-year-old Arrernte/Garrwa Aboriginal boy still fueled by hope and possibility. Dujuan’s story reminds us why we are desperately seeking systemic change and gives us the hope we need to sustain that change.

Om Ellie & Yogi Bear, Channelling Harriet & Brene "This two-episode special is based on a course that Dr. Harriet Lerner and I did together on her groundbreaking book, “Why Won’t You Apologize?: Healing Big Betrayals and Everyday Hurts.” You can expect authentic, hard conversations (and one helluva role play) about making mistakes, healing hurts, and being brave. Harriet is a friend, mentor, and teacher. Her work has shaped my career and made my life better. During a time of deep uncertainty and anxiety – when many of us have struggled to be our best selves all of the time – apologizing has never been more important." ~ Brene Brown  View this post on Instagram I don’t know about you, but I’ve had to apologize A LOT over the past six weeks - which makes this the perfect time to lean into Dr. Harriet Lerner’s work on apologizing.⁣ ⁣ This two-episode podcast special is based on a course that @harriet_lerne...

The FreshEd Podcast · FreshEd #197 – COVID-19 as an opportunity for educational change (Yong Zhao) There’s an urban legend that Winston Churchill, near the end of World War II, once said “never let a good crisis go to waste.” President Obama’s chief of staff, Rahman Emanuel, certainly said similar words in 2009 after the Global Financial Crisis. Is the crisis in education today caused by the coronavirus an opportunity to make lasting and positive change? How can we be sure not to waste this moment by returning to normal? Yong Zhao joins me to talk about educational change in the time of COVID-19. He argues that we must change the “yes, but” attitude to a “yes, and” collaborative approach. We must be innovative and work together to redesign education systems into something new. He’s hoping to see more self-directed learning emerge out of this crisis as well as a shift towards the humanities and philosophy. Yong Zhao  is a Foundation Distinguished Professor in the  Sch...

View this post on Instagram We had to take classes. Read books. Get therapy. It’s not natural for a lot of us to know how to process and move things out of our body after we feel it. Seriously, get whatever help you need, because life gets a whole lot better when you learn to let things go after you feel it, and after you fight for it if you need to, but at some point, it needs to be released. -Maranda A post shared by Mantra Wellness Magazine (@mantramagazine) on May 3, 2020 at 6:02am PDT

View this post on Instagram Today's #SaturdaySentence comes from "Recollections of My Nonexistence," a memoir by the activist and author Rebecca Solnit about acquiring confidence as a woman and a writer. "For Solnit fans, her new memoir is a glimpse of all that was 'taking form out of sight,' providing a key to understanding much of her work to date. Yet simply as a coming-of-age narrative, it also has much to offer someone new to her writing," our reviewer, Jenny Odell, writes. “The stochastic nature of social change has been one of Solnit’s guiding concerns, and here it’s transposed to a personal register: How does a person change? We rarely know what something means when it happens to us. We may be finding out for the rest of our lives." | @vikingbooks A post shared by NYT Books (@nytbooks) on May 2, 2020 at 11:45am PDT

Think back to last time you felt resentful, annoyed at someone, or felt that someone was trying to take advantage of you, and you probably experienced someone crossing one of your boundaries. Our boundaries are really important. They’re a core part of putting limits on how we interact with others, what is and isn’t acceptable in a given situation, what we will and won’t stand for. Some boundaries are flexible and some are set in stone, with the most effective ones falling somewhere in the middle.  Once we are clear about what’s most important to us – our life vision, purposeful work, relationships or well being practices as examples – then we can determine where we need to set our boundaries, and how we will go about holding those lines. Boundaries can be emotional, psychological, energetic and physical.  People placing demands on your time, energy or emotional labour can all cause you to lose track of what you really want or need to get done, and get sucked into t...

View this post on Instagram How are you doing? Can you check any on this list or can you add something to this list? Growth, as you know, is non linear. We ebb and flow through it and meet new tundra that requires us to get even more present, aware, and change out the lens. It doesn’t end, but when we exercise the muscle of presence day in and day out, we allow ourselves to pivot and integrate the changes we need in our lives.
