22.01.2022 Due to the current situation with Covid19, we are taking precautions to minimize risk for our clients, we are putting our workshops on hold for the next month and are all self isolating as much as possible. We will be back to it one things settle down and it's safe to play with others again. In the interim here are some ways to spend your time in isolation.

19.01.2022 Our Munalibic Coil Weaving Workshop is this Sunday 23rd at 2-4.30pm Tashara and Lorraine will form a tag team to show you the technique for Coil Weaving, which is a basket making technique which was used by our ancestors many years ago on country. You will learn how to start a coil basket or mat. Hopefully you will complete a pair of coil earrings or the beginning of an awesome coiling masterpiece. We still have some have some spaces available. Its not too late to register. Message us here at Munalibic, or call Lorraine on 0409551603

16.01.2022 Receiving inspiration from country. I feel very lucky to have spent some time in Tocumwal along the river. What spectacular land we share with the most amazing animals. As the year starts up and gets busy again it's important to remember to do the things that keep us healthy and connected.

04.01.2022 AFFIRMATION https://koorieheritagetrust.com.au//exhibitio/affirmation/ Book into the virtual tour with Tom Mosby here: https://koorieheritagetrust.com.au/whats-on/events/... Gapila- Tashara Roberts I am often compelled to touch the leaves and bark of trees. In my mind this is because of ‘Gapila’, to know through touch (Dja Dja Wurrung); a component of deep listening - Nyernila. As I touch the tree I wonder if my ancestors might’ve touched this tree, I know that they live on as part of this tree and I know that I am connected to this tree and that this tree is my country, my kin, my family. This body of work highlights maybe the largest part of our identity, our connection to country and our ability to listen to it using all our senses at the same time. Through First Nations ways of knowing; where knowledge is gained through both human-led and qualitive/quantitative measures, as well as through instinctive, revealed and relational means such as ancestral memory, country and kinship; we believe in a relatedness or connectedness with each other, ancestral spirits and country. This is integral to our identity, culture and kinship. In our ways of understanding country and kinship, trees are family and equal to us; and in them live our ancestors’ spirits. Their skin is our skin, their blood our blood, their pain is our pain; and their loss is our loss. We are connected, we are part of each other and have a reciprocal relationship. They have knowledge to give, stories to tell, they help sustain us and we have a responsibility to care for them. The recent bushfires devastated most Australians, but none more than First Nations people. Most of whom found it to be devastatingly traumatic to watch their brothers and sisters burn, starve or become homeless. I for one was in mourning and to some extent still am, for me it was like watching a massacre. This was not healthy burning, but decimation of our kin. When burning country First Nations peoples create a cool burn to create re-birth and protect our fragile eco systems. To watch this devastation was painful, it touched us on a deeper level because of our kinship relations to country and our First Nations Identity and ways of knowing. Those trees, plants and animals were and still are part of us, they had a right to be here, a right to live. Humans are meant to value and care for them, but instead humans dominate and destroy our mother and our siblings. Our society and the structures that it has created have a problematic relationship to the environment that sustains us. This work poses the question. How does society find a balance between our capitalist society, First Nations ways of knowing and being and humanities reciprocal relationship to nature? Can it?
