On Country Workshop Day: Cultural immersion, healing and connection to Country
Day Three| Friday 31st July
Join us for a dedicated day of cultural immersion, reflection and wellbeing following the first two days of the First Nations Justice Reform Forum. This workshop day offers participants the opportunity to pause, reconnect and reflect on the key conversations emerging from the forum through a culturally grounded lens.
Led by First Nations facilitators and cultural leaders, the day is designed to support social and emotional wellbeing, strengthen connection to Country, and explore the role of healing, resilience and community leadership in shaping justice reform. Through facilitated wellbeing practices and a cultural harbour cruise with Tribal Warrior Aboriginal, participants will deepen their understanding of how culture, connection and community-led approaches can drive lasting change.
