Tune in tonight at 5pm as acclaimed author and human rights advocate Thomas Mayo delivers a powerful Walyalup Oration, a centrepiece of the FOCUS: First Nation Films festival held at Walyalup Fremantle Arts Centre earlier this year.

In the Walyalup Oration, leading thinkers in Indigenous/colonial relations share insights on creating a fairer, (re)conciled, and more prosperous future for Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians.

"I talk about the urgent changes that need to happen in Australia to address the racism and discrimination against First Nations people. I include how the media and tech companies are culpable, and oligarchs are undermining our democracy for wealth and power. We need to be aware, we need to call for protections for people and country, we need to act now." - Thomas Mayo

With We Al-li Programs – I just got recognised as one of their top fans! 🎉

By request we have been asked to unpack the We Al-li "Sensing on Country - A CITIHA Healing Wheel" graphic we posted recently so over the next few weeks we will post components of each of the senses in that graphic. The second one we are unpaking is Proprioception - Strength and Grounding.

Proprioception is our sense of where our body is in space, the feeling of our feet on Country, the weight of our muscles, the strength of our stance.

Cultural practices like walking on Country, weaving, dance, rhythmic clapping, tending fire and gathering food naturally strengthen this sense. Through rhythm, repetition, weight and grounded movement, the body rebuilds safety, balance and agency.

Healing is not only spoken.
It is felt through movement, pressure and relationship to Country.

***PLEASE NOTE ***
This forms part of the We Al-li CITIHA framework and any use of this image must reference We Al-li. For more information on this or any of the We Al-li programs, please visit www.wealli.com.au or email enquiries@wealli.com.au

4 Ways to Make Peace with Overwhelming Emotions https://buff.ly/ANijFxQ

It’s Monday… and for many people, that means Monday blues. 😔

Overwhelming emotions can feel like waves that might sweep you away. But here’s the truth. Emotions are temporary, and you can learn to make peace with them instead of fighting them. One powerful mindfulness tool is the RAIN practice:
• Recognize what you’re feeling
• Allow it to be there
• Investigate it with curiosity
• Nurture yourself with self-compassion

When you turn toward your emotions with mindfulness instead of running from them, something surprising happens. They begin to teach you, calm down, and lose their grip.

You don’t have to fear your emotions. You can learn from them. You can grow through them. And you can find peace, even on a Monday. 🧠💙
