GUARDRAILS AND MINDSETS- Intentional Living for Work and Life
Why should we talk about Guardrails and Mindsets?
It’s about what we have in place to protect ourselves: protect our minds, our hearts, our bodies, our families.
Are we intentional about those? Can we identify what they are? Are they sufficient? Is there something more we could be doing to ensure our wellbeing, and others, while we do what we do in life?
Are there behaviours we have, almost by habit or seemingly unknowingly, that are undermining our wellbeing or bypassing our current guardrails?
We’ll talk about all this, and more.
There will be moments of practical application with each participant able to consider this in a group but personalise it to their own context.
By the end of the session, hopefully, each participant will have the tools to create the guardrails and consider the mindsets they need (individualised) for longevity in their various roles and life in general.

Navigating Seasons of Faith
In our work, we have the privilege of holding space for people of faith as they celebrate the highs, face the challenges, endure the wilderness, and connect to hope and purpose across the seasons of their lives and ministries. Join us to explore the complexity of leading and supporting people of faith as they experience changes in their beliefs and/or their involvement with faith communities. Be equipped and encouraged as you create places of safety for people who find themselves questioning, transitioning or rethinking their spiritual life. Discover creative ways of holding space and reflecting with people experiencing the twists and turns of their faith walk. Topics explored may include common shifts in faith, deconstruction & reconstruction, healing from religious trauma, attending to identity, grief & loss, finding restorative connections and practitioner self-care.
