Rural women are being encouraged to get off the farm, enjoy a leisurely lunch and be inspired by a former Olympian this month.
With support from the Rural Support Trust, Beef + Lamb NZ is organising Refill Your Cup: Ladies’ Long Lunches at three venues across the northern North Island, including one at Abel Estate near Kumeu on Thursday, November 30.
The event has been designed to help bring rural women from across the region together to be inspired and make wider network connections, with drinks, nibbles, lunch, spot prizes and guest speaker Brooke Neal.
Neal played hockey for New Zealand for 10 years and competed at the 2016 Olympics and 2018 Commonwealth Games, where she won a gold medal. However, she also struggled with burnout, self-doubt, grief and chronic pain, until she took a step back to start her own business, practice daily mindfulness and become a yoga teacher.
Neal will share her experiences of how, by finding more balance in her life, her performance only improved and how she now inspires people to be healthier in their lives while pursuing their dreams.
Tickets cost $20 per person, $75 for four or $150 for a table of eight, and the event runs from 11.30am to 3pm.
