This month nationally we celebrate HARMONY WEEK from the 17th -23rd with the important message EVERYONE BELONGS.

There's plenty to celebrate as we acknowledge the collective ancestry that has brought us all here today to the Shoalhaven.

In the words of Jrumpinjinbah everyone belongs.

" Your human existence will only last for a short space of time, and from there you go back to the spiritual essence where everyone is equal.There is no you're greater than me or I'm greater than you. You just are.”

Cultural Dot Painting with Tameca!
What a vibrant and inspiring day we had! Under the warm sun, Tameca shared her knowledge of symbols and patterns and guided us through the ancient art of dot painting, a practice rich in cultural significance.

We enjoyed a delicious lunch and home-made scones and transformed blank canvases into stunning masterpieces celebrating Culture, building community, and connecting with nature along the Yila Healing Trail.

As the day wrapped up, we left with our beautiful artworks and a renewed appreciation for this ancient art and storytelling.

Here's to more colourful adventures and learning experiences together and joy filled hearts.

Thanks for a fantastic day, Tameca and your beautiful family.

🖤💛❤️
