I witnessed my first Indigenous Smoking Ceremony last week, and it was SUCH a powerful experience and I really wanted to share it with this wonderful community.

I hope that I can continue to expand my knowledge of this country's Indigenous culture in various ways, this thread being one 🙂

@Jess1-RO Hey! I am back from a long sabbatical. Uni has been pretty full on this semester and I've struggled to find time to get on RO but I am back to making my commitment to at least jump on 2 times a week! Thanks for checking in Smiley Happy

Welcome back @lennycat2017! Sounds like it has been a really busy time of year for you. Are you around half way through the semester now?

Really love that you have set a forums goal, I would love to hear how you find setting a goal and whether it is something we can support other members to set too.

See you around soon!!

Hey @Jess1-RO thanks for your response! 

Its week 10/13 at the moment but mid semester break is next week so it’s been a long haul! 

 

I’ve currently written down the days I plan to jump on RO in my diary and the time I plan to spend - even if it’s just 10 minutes to respond to replies or an hour if I have more time. The visual prompt in my diary keeps my accountable on those days. 

Goal setting is definitely something we could look at doing on the forum if this hasn’t been done in a while! 

 

How have you been? 

Talk soon xx

I love your organisational and planning skills @lennycat2017! Hoping you also get some time to recharge on your uni break too! Have you got any plans?

You are on the home stretch for Uni 2019! Whoop whoop!

I am good thanks! Can't believe we are already approaching the end of September, this year has gone so quick!

Looking forward to seeing you around the forums again soon 🙂

Thanks @Jess1-RO it's taken a lot of practice to get this organised!

 

I know, I am feeling good about finishing uni and will have a day to unwind on the break :Smileyhappy:

 

Glad to hear you are doing well! This year has flown by, not prepared for it to be Christmas yet!

 

Xx

The full video is so much better @Jay-RO but I can’t link it as it’s on
Facebook. It was on the page ABC Indigenous

Also, Hello Everyone! 

 

This thread fills my heart with so much joy! What a beautiful place to see so many of us mob here having a yarn! 

 

I am a Nywaigi woman from NQ! Considered a little rain forest tribe, our land is full of beautiful wetlands! 

 

In my spare time, I tend to laze around at home and netflix/read. 

 

In my opinion, the best thing about being ATSI is the instant connection you feel with our mob. The ties we create are so strong and for life, our eagerness to support each other, praise each other and share knowledge with each other is what I love. 

 

Looking forward to getting to know you all!!

Hello @lennycat2017, thank you so much for sharing! 🙂 I don't identify as ATSI, but I've found that connection you refer to so inspiring! Something that we can learn from, that's for sure!

Hey @Saltwaterdreamtime I'm really sorry for your loss, that's sad news Smiley Sad What have you been doing to look after yourself tonight? Heart

Jess1-ROPosted 30-01-2019 01:08 PM

Hi @Saltwaterdreamtime, I am so sorry for your loss Heart How are you going after hearing the news? Sending lots of support your way today!

 

Is there anyone that is able to support you to travel?

 
 
 
Saltwaterdreamtime
SaltwaterdreamtimePosted 30-01-2019 01:13 PM
Not really. I spoke to my mentors, i didn’t mention the money because i don’t want to bother them and they have helped me out every other time with getting there @Jess1-RO
They suggested that if I’m not going to work today to do something instead not just sit at home so I went for a big surf
 
 
 
 
Jess1-RO
Jess1-ROPosted 30-01-2019 02:51 PM

That's understandable that you don't feel like asking for money @Saltwaterdreamtime. I am really glad to hear you have reached out to your mentors for support today, it sounds like they have offered some good suggestions to help you get through the day today- surfing is a great idea. Will they be around to chat if you need support in the coming days? 

 

Losing someone is really painful, and I want you to know that we are here for you, and it sounds like your mentors are there for you too Heart
