23.01.2022 This is what participants said at the close of the three-day workshop. "Feeling blessed to have been given new knowledge and information that I can take back to my work place to support students and also my Aboriginal community." "Feeling grateful and I know the information I have learnt from this unique workshop will carry me forward with confidence." "I have been trying to do this training for years since reading Rosemarys paper and it resonates not only on a professiona...l level but on a personal level too." "It clicked a whole lot of things into place for me. There were so many things that gave me an aha moment. Being an educator myself I really appreciated your teaching style and seeing how you operated over the 3 days and how you kept everybody here in a safe space" "I really enjoyed it and it affirmed many things I already practice I felt it opened up my soul." "An amazing model of how #loss and #grief works and how to approach it . The part I felt was really meaningful is that it reminds me that I can be brave in my practice and step aside from #evidence-based medicine and still deliver real outcomes" "It has been incredible to be here. It has really added to the experience that everyone here was so comfortable and open to sharing themselves. It was a journey through empathy and opened my mind to the potential of what could be."

19.01.2022 ......The prime minister insisted problems of Indigenous disadvantage were being dealt with and we dont need to draw equivalence here. Our question in response is to ask for transparency about how and by whom the problems of Aboriginal disadvantage are being dealt with? Aboriginal Disadvantage or Aboriginal Industry? Can we draw equivalence here? #listen #blacklivesmatter ... https://www.theguardian.com//australian-black-lives-matter

15.01.2022 Its approach is named after the word Nunga, a term that Aboriginal peoples in southern South Australia use to self-identify.

12.01.2022 ...The convenor of the Coalition of Peaks, Pat Turner, described these as a "game changer".
