What we’re about
Between every two pine trees there is a door leading to a new way of life. ~ John Muir
I am looking forward to co-creating this conscious community of women in Austin that believe we can do more to support each other personally and professionally through awareness, curiosity, and presence. If this resonates with you, we’d love to have you join us as we learn to listen to our own inner wisdom and empower each other through the beauty and wisdom of Nature.
This is a FREE meetup for adult women that will meet regularly for guided reflection, connection and slow to rigorous activities through Austin’s incredible trail systems, in Nature and occasionally online! Nature provides the perfect backdrop to unplug from the hustle, ground into stillness, bask in gratitude and open our minds and hearts to awe, wonder and transcendence. Can you think of a better setting to prioritize self-care, move our bodies, and connect with others and the natural world?
CONSCIOUS COMMUNITY:
- Our intention is to build an active, harmonious community of diverse, interesting women by offering meaningful activities in Nature (and online during Covid!) that allow our members to come together to have fun, while nurturing our minds, bodies, and spirits.
- Our desire is that this investment of time and energy will make it easier for us to open our hearts to forming new friendships that lead to lasting and meaningful relationships.
- Our goal is that every member feels comfortable and able to become further integrated into the WeWiN community and we welcome participants stepping forward to share their gifts by co-leading events with the community.
- All members are asked to not post or push promotions or sales pitches in order to promote authentic connection and openness.
- We further remind all members to keep personal conversations shared at events confidential.
- All women over 18 are welcome regardless of race, creed, color, religion, sexual orientation, national origin, political affiliation or disability status.
ABOUT YOUR ORGANIZER:
Rhonda spent many years of living two distinct lives; one as a successful business leader in a corporate setting while juggling the challenges raising two sons as a single mother, and one searching for every opportunity to immerse herself and her family in nature to re-charge, whether that be the neighborhood trail system, the most non-commercialized yet accessible beaches or wandering around the vastness of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
In 2017 Rhonda changed that and began integrating the two, doing more and more of her work in nature. https://imaginework.com/nature-coaching/. She also created and led the co-creation of New Orleans' WeWiN Meetup:https://4142298.xyz/Women-Empowering-Women-in-Nature-WeWiN-New-Orleans/.
Additionally, WeWiN depends on a volunteer leadership team and invites all active members in WeWiN to step into leadership and lead events as desired. Please reach out to Rhonda if you find yourself ready to offer events to our community or take on a more active leadership role.

Join our WeWiN Sisters in taking an active role in improving our understanding of our reproductive health and the impacts of our choices on our body!
Birth control has revolutionized fertility control, but its effects extend far beyond reproductive health. The powerful hormones in birth control influence billions of cells throughout the body, particularly in the brain, shaping stress responses, eating habits, romantic attraction, and more. Join Hot Science - Cool Talks for an enlightening discussion with Dr. Sarah Hill as we explore the hidden impacts of birth control and empower everyone to make informed decisions about their health and well-being. (Recommended PG-13)
We have TEN passes reserved so please only RSVP if you are certain you will be able to join!
We will meet at Welch Hall Room 2.224, UT Campus at 6:00pm to connect, explore the "Cool Activites," and get seats for the Q&A at 7pm. Join us for Cool Activities (we meet at 6pm but they go from from 5:30 to 6:40) to explore interactive, hands-on activities related to hormones, birth control, neuroscience, and more! Attendees will also have the opportunity to win fantastic prizes at the end of the talk.
Dr. Sarah Hill is an award-winning research psychologist and Psychology professor at Texas Christian University with expertise in women, health, and sexual psychology. At the intersection of evolutionary biology, social psychology, and neuroscience, Dr. Hill’s research is aimed at understanding the role that hormones, the immune system, and the environment play in relationship- and health- behaviors, especially in women.
