Filling in the gaps - pre-colonised training

Colonisation created many gaps in our ancient native knowledge system. As a native researcher and historian, I'll work tirelessly to assist you to identify, choose and fill in many of these ancient knowledge gaps. I'll collaborate with you every step of the way to empower your community to hand down native knowledge to future generations

Oral Navigation mapping workshops

Prior to colonisation native Aboriginal beings navigated by ceremonial, gender, water and sacred site knowledge names. After two decades of experience I will teach your organisation how to restore these traditional skills within any community or team.

Dhadhirra - Native Aboriginal women's traditional knowledge Workshops

On the east coast of Australia the ceremonial, skill and education role of native Aboriginal women was misunderstood and ignored by early ethnographers. After many decades of repatriating this knowledge I would love to share with your community or women's group to help restore our native Aboriginal women and country's health & wellbeing

Oral language translation workshops

Learn from our unique Knowledge Code system that has been developed over many years of researching and translating multiple native Aboriginal oral groups. This system can be used by communities to return native Aboriginal people to their original translation practice as a way to restore and understand our oral expression correctly once again. No more one word - one meaning!

Would love to do more of these workshops in the future. All women need this and I feel more empowered now that I've done this. Thank you

The healing through old knowledge exercise was a valuable 3 days understanding Aboriginal women’s business and learning about moiety, skin relationship and blood lines - very informative and helps us to understand woman’s role in Aboriginal society

What is Tribal Subconsciousness - We all came from a relationally connected society

Ever been in a meeting with someone and thought the way they communicated with you felt uncomfortable? Where did these standards and rules for how you and everyone else must behave even come from? Is this what others are doing to you?
