Wuunggati Barriya Aboriginal Corporation was honoured to attend the Durri Aboriginal Medical Service Women’s Healing Camp this week, standing strong alongside women on Country in a space of connection, culture and healing.
One of our deadly female rangers, Peta Quinlan, proudly delivered an artefact cultural workshop for the women attending camp. The workshop focused on traditional items including coolamons and bowls, sharing knowledge about their purpose, cultural significance, and the importance of continuing these practices for future generations.
In the lead up to the camp, our ranger team spent time on Country respectfully collecting the materials needed to create these artefacts. The timber was carefully selected, gathered and prepared on Country, with each piece shaped by our team before camp.
During the workshop, the women then completed the final stages shaving, shaping and refining their own coolamons and bowls.
It was powerful to witness each woman put her own touch into her piece, connecting hands, heart and spirit to culture.
This workshop wasn’t just about creating artefacts it was about strengthening identity, sharing knowledge, and creating a safe space for women to heal together through culture.
We are proud to support opportunities like this that keep culture strong, women empowered, and knowledge flowing from generation to generation.
💛🖤❤️
