25.01.2022 Truth right here!
25.01.2022 This is a brother of mine from Bundjalung country, he has started his own Barbering in Casino NSW and can cut hair like a champ. Show him some love and keep an eye out for him.
25.01.2022 Ok, so we will open as of Monday the 7.09.2020, 9am till 3pm on Monday, Wendsday and Fridays. 104 center st Casino, 2 doors up from KFC, drop in for a yarn. Ganna would like to extend a big big thank you to CASPA head office and also CASPA in Casino for creating and giving space for us to open shop and have a landing zone.... Stay tuned for up and coming information about community programs that will be on offer. love to you all, thanks for supporting Ganna all the way. Lukas
24.01.2022 Culture at any age can be opened, regardless of your childhood. I like to call our third eye, the "door to lore". Many have a belief that lore holders must of grown up with full blown culture and lore.... But, lore is in our bodies from thousands of years back, and in some cases, lore and culture is not passed down until the holder believes the learner is ready, these days that age is getting higher and higher. Be careful of those who run a narrative that they hold the key to lore and culture. Words of a 70 year old Tradtional healer that changed my life, it was then I knew Im only beginning.
24.01.2022 Please share around, we will be holding a yarn up day in Casino in two weeks to yarn about whats up with Ganna Healing. Everyone is welcome. Hopfully this is clear enough to see, if anyone has troubles reading this, please let us know.
23.01.2022 R U OK. Suicide Awareness day. Ganna is a word that means to "listen deep" hear, think, feel and then understand. How can we understand more, listening to the words of the heart. ... If there is one thing that we all can do better, it is to "Listen Deeper", listen to someone speak without opinion can be a very very powerful tool to hearing someone speak from the heart. Pass the message along - share and tag others.
23.01.2022 My daughter sent me this today and we are sharing it to show what ICE or Speed can do but what a womwn can do when she wants a better life. Her own words!! I am too proud to not share this with you! Massive reality check this morning for me, I've had a massive week full of clients and this morning I woke up feeling drained, then I decided to take a pic and put it next to this one, 18 months ago I was in the lowest spot in my life, to leaving a toxic relationship then i lost the last bit of me I had to addiction, rock bottom then had become my foundation to rebuild khy (her son) and mine future even greater and stronger. Back then I would have never thought I would be the mother and women I am today, looking at this had just made me realise I have came so far, this is only the start I can do some amazing things
23.01.2022 Deadly brother from Ti Tree taking the men from his community out on cultral healing camps. James Glenn is a Ti Tree man from the Northern Territory that lives and breathes for his communities well-being. Well done my brother.
20.01.2022 2 free spots available for our up and coming workshop for one male and one female. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People's that would like to attend Gan'na Healings workshop in Ballina next month. Just following the info below and type done in the comment box!! ... It is easy - just click on our page, just below the "book now" button there is an area you can scroll across - scroll across to "community" once you do that, go down to "invite friends", click that and press "invite all" then invite - it is that simple. People that do this will be then drawn out of a hat. On Monday we will go live and announce the winners. Love and respect to all, Gan'na team.
20.01.2022 Once I gave a second chance to people, now I just remove them and get on with life. I have a brain to protect, continuous impacts of peoples rot can reactivate your trauma leading to major issues in your health. Good night.
20.01.2022 I'm sitting here writing something for remote and come to an area of workers in remote. Made me think about us as an organisation, Gan'na guarantees to never put workers into remote work unless they have 2 years full time experience on the ground in remote - communities should not have to accept anything less, but community are kind, and those wanting money are dangerous. If we don't have those workers, luckily we do, then we don't go. ... What keeps us honest is money is always second no matter what, best interest of community is first.
19.01.2022 Good morning - if you have come from somewhere and heading to somewhere then you must watch this. Ingredable man that highlights what is needed to reach a destination that would seem impossible for many.
18.01.2022 You can walk somebody to information, but if they are bias, you will only ever exhaust yourself. Change peoples views through your outcomes, not your arguments.
16.01.2022 We have had many new likes last few days which is always great, thank you and welcome to all our new followers. Here is a short 7 minute video of what we do and a little of my story and why I do what I do.
16.01.2022 Good news story about reversing trauma. Lukas has been with me from about 2013. In these past years Lukas struggled to learn at school or even focus in his own skin also never felt settled at school. Lukas was at a point before 2013 where he would get police chaces, steal from shops, even started to experiment with drugs.... Anyhow, we together done our own healing, to be a better son and dad to eachother, to learn how we wanted to be treated, and my god have we fine tuned them skills. Lukas has never got good grades at school and has expressed he wasent smart enough. Last week Lukas topped his whole class in Maths and Science, and is now aiming to bring it home on Friday by smashing his English exam. He is looking at three (A,s) this year, he is very proud. How did he reach this place, we all hear that children dont know what they want, but Lukas knew he wanted a different life then what the streets offered, and he done all the work. One proud dad here, Time for a reward Id say... If Lukas could tell his story, he would change a nation of CHILDREN.
15.01.2022 Planning and setting up this office has created some good old feelings I havent felt in some time. Unpacking things that I havent seen in years, old ideas, old certificates that made me sit down and say to myself, "How did I reach this place" greatful to walk the path of healing. Some pics of the space we will have up and running soon, also really nice outside area for mens and womens gatherings.
15.01.2022 At times Id ask men in the rehabs who had been using for years on end, to write a letter to their drug of choice or behavior that has been so troubling for them. Oh my, there was some tears, but mostly, fear of LOSS, losing a part of them that has held them to this point! If you had to write a letter to your drug of choice or your behavior that has been so troubling, what would you write!!
14.01.2022 Exciting new role based at CASPA in Casino for an Aboriginal family worker.
14.01.2022 All my friends, family, work friends and clients, if Ive been quite and you havent heard from me, please know it is only me resting. If I rest now, you will have me clearer then ever for the next 10 years, just like the last 10 years, only more calmer and fresher. It wont be long, Ill be back with some big plans
13.01.2022 Before you confront the government or want to walk to highlight social issues, try this instead. Deal with your own back yard, turn in and look at your own trauma, those social issues may disappear, not all, but majority of them. I spent years and years in jail, my learnings had started when screws (guards) would fuk with my head to make life hard inside, I then made a choice to never let my life be controlled by another person, which meant I had to fix my shit, deal with me,... it was never anyones elses issue, no government, no police, no parole officer, just my own trauma that needed my truth. Get to work, you have children walking in your foot prints.
12.01.2022 We do not have a writen culture but a memory culture - our memory culture is changing and becoming a writen culture which means culture will change to gain and please academia.
12.01.2022 Restarting the fire. Casino men - soon there will be mens group starting up once a week, its all about strengthening "US" as well as being good role models for our Jarjums. Bbq, fire, kangaroo, the works.... Once we get it right, we can focus on getting young fellas out on camps doing culture and healing. Who would like to be involved? Photo is Santa Teresa mens group 2018.
12.01.2022 Ill go live in 20 to touch on a few things happening. Much easier then recording a video, also if anyone has questions, please ask away, Ive had lots of pms and be easy for me to answer on live.
12.01.2022 Picture for attention: Woke up today feeling little raw, and realised it is about my loyalty and honestly. Once again Ive heard of people trying to go under or over other Aboriginal peoples heads to benefit, it is becoming a real issues.... Worst thing is they pretend they are unaware. This tree is a reminder to relax and stay grounded.
12.01.2022 So, its happening faster then I thought. As of the next few weeks Ganna will open their office in Casino NSW. We will offer trauma informed healing practices that directly works to unpack trauma for first nations peoples.... Our space will capture a culturally safe environment where counselling and other therapy will be done in a way that allows our people a Indigenous healing space different from any other services in the area.
10.01.2022 My webpage has been down for sometime, apologies for taking so long to fix this little issue up. Unfortunately it was out of my control. Please, if you havent taken 5 minutes to view Ganna Healings work, take 5 minutes now to scroll through. My work has been developed over 11 years using practices that I have lived by in my own life and also the practises of tradtional healing as a main character in first nations healing.... Also, my work has been developed over many years and has embedded throughout it the work of Dr Carlie Atkinson and Professor Judy Atkinson (the grandmother) to trauma and healing in our nation and across the world. It also has the deep essents of Professor Michael Yellowbird and Professor Bruce Perry. Happy reading. wwe.gannahealing.com
10.01.2022 Woolumbin (captain cooks name is/was mount warning), our scared Dreaming place.
09.01.2022 Family Healing. In our familes we all have some sort of story that rattles the system and structure in ways that can create more pain. What are you doing about that to stop the chain reaction.... Here is a sersous question: What do you do if family members become distant and use not so good behaviors towards the family unit.
07.01.2022 Some exciting news, Ganna Healing will be opening an office in Casino very soon - stay tuned to see what we will offer. Any people in the Casino area have any recommendations on what services they would like
07.01.2022 Thank you to everyone who showed interest and that enrolled into our 2 day workshop. It is now full and we are super excited to meet everyone coming.
04.01.2022 Having a tribe around is very important on your journey of healing. I remember I once lied and used family to continue the drugs, all because I didn't want to take responsibility. I remember my mother kick me out of her house, first time ever, I felt what rock bottom was, she said don't come back unless your ready.... 12am on the 3rd of January 2012, I went and knocked on her door and said I'm ready to be a son, Im ready to take responsibility, that's when my tribe gathered around me. My tribe tried to gather around me before the 3.1.2012, but my actions hurt them, and they needed to let me learn how a tribe member operates in the tribe - I'll answer the rest next week. What does it take to be a tribe member.
03.01.2022 To often we hear men are closed off to emotions and dont talk about their problems, thats societys stigma when it comes to men. I have facilitated some of our countries biggest mens gatherings and I flipped that concept on its head, this is what I found: When men are on country where their families have sat for thousands of years, they open up like any other human on our planet.... Men are ready to talk, there just isn t enough safe place for these men to talk. Photo of Lukas and uncle preparing Kangaroo, RIGHT WAY.
03.01.2022 Sand Play Therapy is part of self healing. It allows you to feel safe, heard and find solutions which will enable you to deal with issues. You can then move forward towards inner peace and happiness. People start to heal the moment they feel heard
03.01.2022 I was sitting one day with my grandmother talking about stories from her childhood, she seemed to talk to me openly as she knew I was in search of her history (our history), I told nan Id find it. She sat there sad one day and said; Lukey, I dont know my father, all I know is a white man I had to call BOSS. As time went on, we found out she always knew her father, but was scared to name him because when she was returned to her mum, she was treated as an outcasts and told he...r parents are not Mrs and Mr Green, so she grew up lost from culture, even tho she raised her kids in culture, and never talked about it again until she was close to passing. We spent years gathering everything and I can tell you from an Aboriginal view point, it was the hardest impact on an Aboriginal family I can ever think of. Anyways, we found it, and thats when Ganna Healing was launched as a bussiness, to help other Aboriginal and Torres strait Islander peoples through the impacts of colonisation. In memory of nanna Flo, our elders set the roads ahead.
02.01.2022 The worry tree, what worry will you hang up today. Im hanging up the worry to compare to others - and turn it into relaxation. your turn
02.01.2022 Ganna is excited to share our first sand play room Sandplay Therapy is another expressive therapy. Using sand, the container and objects that are symbolic, Sandplay Therapy can assist clients to gain emotional release and realisation. It can assist with developmental concerns and seeking resolution to long unresolved issues.... Traumatic experiences create alterations in key neural networks in the brain. These stress related networks span multiple areas of the brain from the brainstem to the neocortex, and therefore, getting at these systems in order to provide therapeutic activations create positive change is difficult using our conventional cognitive heavy approaches. The beauty of play is that it engages these widespread networks in controllable, predicable, and moderate ways. Play engages sensory, motor, emotional and cognitive systems. These play therapy experiences therefore, are a recipe for effective therapeutics and resilience building Contact Ganna team for any further information
02.01.2022 The last few weeks has been climbing out of a place of emotional burnout, last night I had some family issues pop up that creates the deepest pain that challenges and questions why changing who I am as a human and why I choose the healing road. Sometimes in families we can not force those around us to heal or change behavior, but we can give them their own wings to fly and keep leading the way in hope those families will jump on the same train one day..If they choose not to, ...we cannot beat our self up asking what we did wrong, people want you to fail sometimes. Today will be a day of reflection and build my strength to walk the path of healing with honesty and compassion. Have a great day.
01.01.2022 This is something that sits really heavy with me, IM HEAR IF YOU WANNA TALK, doesnt work for me... In my darkest moments of life I have always wanted to be quite (withdraw) as talking to someone was to much energy, sometimes too painful to visit that spot just not my thing... I have often had these thoughts when I see post that say Im hear if you wanna talk, I wouldnt reach out, I cant see myself messaging anyone to share how I am feeling, Ar just NO Ill be right!! IN SAYING THAT Ive have had people check in on me and start conversations I had no idea they where leading me to a safe comfortable moment where I began to share So for me REACHING IN to our loved ones, our friends, work colleagues even strangers can sometimes make the world of difference in someones life This is no disrespect to anyone in anyway around what they may say as I always offer my ear to listen I just know REACH OUT doesnt work for me REACH IN sounds amazing
