Lee is passionate about working with individual and teams working with Indigenous & non-Indigenous young people. The Ngamilmali Maarumali workshop is perfect for schools, organisations, councils, and others who are seeking authentic ways to connect kids with culture and wellbeing.
Nurturing Connections
The program offers tools and stratigies to guide young people to Indigenous ways of knowing and being as a pathway to a greater understanding of the land, water, and Identity to increase the quality of their relationship and connectedness to Culture. It is recognized as a wellbeing program featuring Aboriginal language, movement (the rhythm of Country), meditation, dadirri, yarning, songs, and art. The content is delivered in a contemporary style that allows Culture to be visible again.
It encourages young people to develop a deep appreciation for Country and heal.
Traditional Knowledge
The program recognises the importance of Indigenous knowledge and concepts, and works to help participants to connect to Country, exploring Indigenous ways of knowing, being, and thinking as a pathway to a greater understanding of the land, water, and our peoples. The program encourages Koorie expression through wellbeing, stories, sacred scent and movement to gaining a sense of connection to place.
The program also features Aboriginal language, shares Aboriginal Culture and supports sustainability learning.
Proven Pedagogy
The program weaves through the “8 Ways of Learning” pedagogy that is based on research conducted by Aboriginal education scholars in NSW and SEWB. We combine Dadirri, inner deep listening and Wayapa Wuurk, a unique mind-body practice that combines multi-sensory meditation. These mind-body-earth practices link personal wellbeing with community/environmental connection, building a sustainable society together and moving towards a healed generation.
The program is best delivered face-to face, and is a combination of outdoor and indoor education.
