VIRTUAL WORKSHOPS FOR OUR COMMUNITY
Please see the information below on the Tomorrow Man and Tomorrow Woman workshops. Early in 2020 just after the bushfire I had arranged for these events to be held in Batlow and Tumbarumba, however Covid stopped all that & I now have had the opportunity to hold them in the “Virtual” scene. If you would like to sign up and join in or not that is fine, but I wanted to share this with you all. Please feel free to share around to those who you think would like to sign up as well. It is on Tuesday night 30th June. All the links are listed below.
About Tomorrow Man:
What does it mean to be a bloke today? And what do we want it to look like tomorrow?
The tide is changing for men young and old, and the outdated stereotype is leaving some of our mates, dads, sons, uncles, teammates, workmates and brothers stranded without the tools for a healthy life.
Tomorrow Man facilitate workshops for boys and parents in schools, and, men in sporting clubs, workplaces and communities. We explore how we can look after ourselves, our mates and families better while carving out our own version of the Aussie man.
It’s time we got in a room to have a no holds barred conversation about the state of man; face the stats and create room to break the stereotype.

About Tomorrow Woman:
Tomorrow Woman is a social enterprise that runs workshops to reconnect women with their authentic voice. Through immersive experiential workshops delivered in schools, amateur and elite sporting environments, workplaces and communities, we aim to empower women around Australia.
The impossible-to-achieve ideals women have struggled to live up to for decades are now amplified by our wired and overly connected world. With traditional gender values like beauty and compliance, so deeply entrenched in mainstream culture, following the beat of your own drum can be hard.
Amidst a barrage of confusing messages coming from all angles, depression, anxiety, negative body image and low self-esteem are on the rise in women.
All women are born with a voice, a confident and outspoken voice that is not afraid to be heard. But the research tells us is that around adolescence this voice is lost. Girls become less likely to share their opinions and can lose their sense of self.
In a time where the definition of ‘woman’ is expanding and evolving, Tomorrow Woman creates spaces free from judgment for women to rise above the noise and see their true selves.
We explore tricky topics in a relatable way and get to the heart of issues that women are facing every day - unpacking things like gender stereotypes, internal and external pressures and pop culture topics like pornography, social media, beauty expectations, relationships and self-talk.
In this changing landscape, we ask the question “Who is the woman I want to be tomorrow?”

I have had an association with Tomorrow Man & Tomorrow Woman for over 2 years now and have had them engage with our community and high schools since February 2018.
Have a wonderful week & happy to discuss any of the above.
