SKILLS
Living and Working in Community
My early community-based skills were developed from living and working on or close to the land for most of the first thirty five years of my life. This has been instrumental in establishing my relationship with the land and country people. During this time I became an active community worker in my role as an artist and art teacher, including leading a project sponsored by Youthweek Queensland to employ an indigenous artist to work with over 700 children from local schools. This passion for contributing to and establishing community, particularly to support women and children, has spread throughout my entire working and social life and remains strong today where I continue to build and serve community wherever I go.
These days my principle focus has been working with people committed to creating conscious community, caring for themselves, each other, children, animals, and the planet. Currently I work closely with indigenous aunties and ceremonial elders to create more awareness of the power of ceremonial practices as an elder of Women's Communities at the Sunshine coast. Together we facilitate processes for participants to connect with the Ancestors and other worlds for intuitive guidance, self-healing, and transformation.
I have presented my offerings on three occasions for Lovefest Festivals in NSW, and for Unity Community gatherings.
Presentations, Workshops, and Meditation
I have been a guest presenter at the 2012/13; 13/14; 18/19; and 19/20. 22/23 Woodford Folk Festival at the Blue Lotus pavilion and Labyrinth. Earlier years saw me presenting at such places as The Queensland Counsellors Association Professional Development for Members and the C.J Jung Society of Queensland. I have also been a regular guest speaker at cancer groups on the north side of Brisbane.
For the past twenty years, I have presented hundreds of personal and professional development workshops to small and large groups of people in city, country, remote rural landscapes, with some experience overseas, to a rich variety of people.
My work also takes me into more mainstream places, holding meditation for busy professionals to learn how to more able manage stress.
