The main aim of this workshop is to locate the ancient Aboriginal tradition of mindfulness within the work of trauma recovery in Australia and elsewhere.

The workshop objectives are to establish principles of practice, using mindfulness in self-care, family care and community care and in the development of communities of care, and communities of practice in all trauma recovery work.

Learning to communicate with ourselves and each other at deep levels is primary to effective practice. Participants are introduced to many key therapeutic approaches used by We Al-li including story mapping, sand-play, music, art therapy, movement and guided imagery.

This gathering will be facilitated by We-Al-li. Applications for this event are required and participant selection will be allocated regionally to ensure CCRs from all LGAs have opportunities to attend. It is limited to 25 participants. We will ask you to confirm your place one week before and 24 hours before the event kicks off. If your registration arrives after we reach capacity, we’ll add your name to a waiting list.

NOTE: Registrations will open in July.
