I am excited to be starting our Story Pollinator program tomorrow with a group of woman ChangeMakerschange-makers from Coralus. In preparation I am sitting at my 'putor planning how to talk about what story offers rather than facts/graphs/stats to articulate and engage audiences. I want to tie in research from psychiatrist and philosopher Ian McGilchrist on our left/right brain hemisphere - story is right hemisphere. Ah, I thought I could ask Cinnamon Tea Chat GTP (amazing) to co-create a document with me blending these elements and in a few seconds hey bingo, bang, wham, bam - look at this paragraph!

Overwhelmed and exhausted by The News?
You’re not alone.

The News is part of a wider phenomenon of being over-exposed to media, in all its forms.

Wicked Elephants invites you to join us for a pair of interactive workshops to explore the impacts of The News on our minds and bodies, and to explore tips that tap into our personal and collective wisdom to help us stay engaged, and somehow, healthy.

These sessions are not about the content of The News, per se, and its politics, rather, about the effect of news consumption and the challenge of staying balanced and creative in the face of it.

Joining Wicked Elephants for the workshop is Toni Hassan, a former news and current affairs reporter and producer, and a long-time news ju**ie. Toni has a Walkley Award for excellence in journalism. These days she is a visual artist and advocate for proactive screen-time mental health.

You’ll walk away with:

Connections and catharsis with others also overwhelmed by The News
A fresh perspective on contemporary news media and its effects on you as a news consumer
Sense-making and practical support around how to have a news and information diet to live well
Who should come to this?

Anyone who reads and watches the news and wants to reflect on its impacts and wisdom for living well

What will happen?

Theory bursts – a look behind the news
Small group reflections
Lively and interactive exercises – fun for serious people
Sharing and harvesting group wisdom
