Weenthunga’s workshops support learning, reflection and growth for individuals and organisations in health and health education spaces. Our workshops are delivered by a two-way facilitation team, joining First Nations and Settler Australian voice in this space. Weenthunga’s approach allows for the bringing together of diverse knowledges, understandings and lived experiences. Topics covered can be compared and contrasted from these different experiences and perspectives, resulting in a deeper and more comprehensive understanding.

Please note: We require minimum registrations to proceed with this training, so if insufficient registrations are received for these dates, we will re-schedule and can issue a refund if required. If you would like to attend the training but are not available at these times please email info@weenthunga.com.au to be notified of future training opportunities.

Balance by Shawana Andrews

This image represents balance across time, place and people. It shows the timeless anchor of mother earth with the 4 principles of relationship, respect, reciprocity and responsibility embedded within. The fish show a river of movement of community through time, from past to future, demonstrating connectedness and leadership. They also show diversity across communities that builds strength from its networks and two-way learning and working. The spiraling fish moving from the collective display strength and bravery in their leadership, leading through education and the support of generations.

The ancestors in possum skin cloaks stand together strong beneath the ancient trees and Elders, showing the way. The moths, humble creatures who show great adaptability and resilience, represent women as they move across Country and water, linking time and place through knowledge and understanding. They show great aptitude as they emerge from the earth, move through the community, learning from their ancestors and Elders. They create a path that others can follow and finally come together, drawing on old and new knowledge in their shared vision of First Nations’ health.
