In the book “Under the Quandong Tree” by Aboriginal Senior woman Minmia, it talks about the concept of mother. Without being able to quote directly from the book because I’ve lent it to a friend, she says that in Aboriginal culture there are many mothers for a child. There’s the birth mother, aunties, friends and grandmothers. Even if these mothers haven’t had children themselves, they offer the child wisdom, another perspective and a way to give the birth mother a break from her own triggers. They all contribute to creating a safe space for that child to be “boss of self” Minmia says. .

To me this feels so right. As a mother to my two boys, I know I have a system within operating on the idea that it’s my responsibility to be the one and only for my children. That we chose this role and we will appear weak if we aren’t coping. This is a toxic system that I know operates in a lot of us women. This needs to be dismantled. .
Mothers working together to bring up children seems like the most logical, powerful offering for families and women. .

I truly hope we can absorb the teachings of what community can do for the rearing of our kids and one day move closer to this being the norm. Five mothers for my children seems like a wonderful idea. Then maybe, the women who are born leaders and creators in this world would have to chance to fully explore this, with support, for the greater good of all. .

After many years of saying “I’m going to enter the Archibald painting prize”, this year I actually did it. I chose to paint @janehardwickecollings of @schoolofshamanicwomancraft. I wanted to shine a light on the collective rage of women everywhere, through her gaze. I wanted to honour her and the incredible work she does in sharing the women’s mysteries, helping us to reclaim our cycles and dismantling the systems that hold us back from full expression and self love. This woman has inspired me beyond words to be the fierce woman I’m becoming. I’m so so so grateful for her support over the years. Thank you Jane! I feel I have captured something of you here. You are my heroine! .
Painting is something that really gets me out of my head. Well, it’s a process of noticing when I’m in my head and redirecting myself back to pure inspiration. Before I got to the final painting you see here, I think I painted over it 4 times. I almost gave up. But then I realised my birth imprint was playing out. The rushing to the outcome. So I went away, I did something else for an hour. I might have watched some episodes of “Queer Eye”. I love that series. Anyway, i came back that night and just started putting paint back on the canvas. When I dropped into to the feeling and into curiosity, it all started falling into place. .

I’m feeling like an exhibition of strong women might be coming. .

We carry the experiences and energy of our mothers and grandmothers on a cellular level. A potent a reminder that the wounds that we may carry are not just ours, but our mothers and grandmothers sacred wounds. #womenscircle #sacredwound #mother #grandmother #birth #eggs #womb

To the forgotten soldiers. 🙏🏻 #Repost @alkiraart with @get_repost

Aboriginal men who volunteered for war service to serve a country who did not even recognise them as human. Aboriginal men who tried to enlist were rejected and sent back to their communities or often arrested because they were not allowed to leave prescribed areas. They were not only denied the recognition afforded to non-indigenous soldiers but also the same rights their comrades in arms were granted. They did not receive a war pension, were not allowed to join RSL clubs and some men even came back to find their children had been taken from them. About 500 Aboriginal people served in World War I. In World War II there were about 5000 Aboriginal Diggers but accurate numbers might never be known because the official lists of enlisted men contain only names not cultural backgrounds. In fact, many Aboriginal men who enlisted had to denounce their Aboriginal heritage, claiming to be Maori. LEST WE FORGET, THE FORGOTTEN SOLDIERS.🥀 Artist - @koori_kicks_art

On the approach to the full moon, the boys performed a rather amazing, yet hectic Dj set in the lounge room the other night. They hadn’t done that in so long. They wanted to perform for @zenithflume who stayed with us for a short while this week. They shared the time, they encouraged and clapped each other and landed in my lap after each set. These two cherubs are musicians and them showing me their self directed, free flowing beats reminded me of the strength and confidence that I have in my own music. .

I know I said I’d make an album last year and the year before that so I’m not going to say it again. .

I’m just gonna do it instead. .

Happy Full moon and Autumn Equinox! .

On the descent (towards bleeding) whilst the moon, almost full, has other plans. Shedding my skin, feeling all the feels, paying attention and going within. Reflecting on all that has come before this moment and giving great thanks for what’s blossoming, intensifying. Gently. How are you feeling on this approach to the full moon in Libra on Thursday? Autumn Equinox also falls on this day!! Perfect for us all to reflect upon the idea of balance. Is it achievable or is it more about acceptance and making adjustments? #reclaimyourpower #mooncycles #fullmoon #autumnequinox #shedding #womensretreat #

Calling all women!! Next Saturday join us for an evening of sharing, singing, moving and deep listening, as we ride on the energy of the full moon! To book in comment below and I’ll send you the eventbrite link. #womenscircle #women #meditation #singing #centralcoast #reclaimyourpower #community

Whilst I appreciate IWD and the celebration of women and how far we’ve come, I must pay respects to the women who we have lost since IWD 2018. Violence against women must end.
