🌿 Message from Maylene: Cancellation 🌿
We feel so blessed to be part of Kummargi yulendj gahadba – Mindful Mob: Awakening Sleep Spirits on Country.

Join the movement Monash University Performing Arts Centres (MPAC)

My little one had a big procedure last week and is still on the mend. I had hoped she would be well enough for me to lead today’s workshop alongside my sister Ko Irihipeti ahau, but unfortunately, she has had another rough night and needs her Mama close by today.

I’m so sorry we can’t be there and send all my love to everyone gathering on Country today.

We extend our deepest respects to N’Arweet Carolyn Briggs AM, whose love and wisdom immensely inspire and shape us. Thank you for bringing this special movement to fruition.

I will continue at home offering a distant meditation towards the Festival, all its guests and our lands.

The Mindful Mob Knowledge Library 📚🌿

One of our greatest achievements this year has been curating our healing library ~ bringing together medicine, knowledge, stories and ideas from around the world.

Indigenous knowledges, traditional healing, spirituality, plants, psychology, philosophy, culture and different ways of understanding what it means to be human.

A growing collection for our diverse community, practitioners and young people to learn from, reflect on and stay curious about.

Stories are medicine. We encourage every reader to immerse yourself in all wonders of the world.

Today is the International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples! 👣🌏❤️

This year’s theme, “Honouring Indigenous Midwives: Safeguarding Life and Well-being,” celebrates our Indigenous midwives, birth workers and the beautiful birthing traditions that have been carried through our communities for generations. We honour the knowledge, care and cultural practices that have welcomed our babies into the world for thousands of years.

Our spiritual health and the continuation of our healing ways remain central to our work at Mindful Mob Wellness Institute. We thank our healers, knowledge holders and community for being part of this journey with us.

Happy Friday, Mindful Mob ❤️🌌

Meditation is an ancient practice that people have used for centuries to calm the mind, regulate the body and find stillness.

And you’ll find forms of meditation across many cultures, practised in different ways.

In our cultures, we have our own ways of slowing down and becoming still. Dadirri, or deep listening, is one beautiful example ~ a form of listening and meditation deeply connected to Mother Earth, Country, our plant relatives and the world around us.

Today, meditation can be a really useful tool for mob.

We carry stress. Cultural load. Family and community responsibilities. Work. Grief. Advocacy. Sometimes we spend so much time looking after everybody and everything around us that our bodies stay switched on.

Meditation gives us a moment to come back to ourselves.

A few minutes to breathe.
To let the body soften.
To notice what we’re carrying.
To give our nervous system some quiet.

You don’t have to meditate perfectly. You don’t have to empty your mind.

Just find a moment of stillness and breathe.

Meditate to regulate.

Our old people understood the importance of stillness and listening. Maybe in this busy world, we need those moments more than ever.

Happy Children’s Day to our precious little ones: The Treaty Generation 🖤💛❤️💙💚🤍

This Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children’s Day, we have an opportunity to reflect on something remarkable.

Across Victoria, our Aboriginal children are growing up in one of the most significant periods of change since colonisation. They are the first generation of children to grow up in Victoria’s Treaty era.

That is both exciting and humbling, but it also places an extraordinary responsibility on all of us.

A gentle wind on a winter’s night. 🧡

A table filled with us and the many places we come from.

Stories shared. Hands creating. Hearts open.

A collective of collectives.

Right now, we only have this life. Let’s choose to spend a bit of it together. 🕊️🌏❤️🌿✨

What a special evening.

We had the opportunity to attend the opening of Connected Through Country, hosted by Children’s Ground at Donkey Wheel House in Naarm/Melbourne. 🦘

Children's Ground is a First Nations organisation working alongside communities through a 25-year approach that is designed, led and governed by First Nations people from Ampe-Kenhe Ahelhe, Arrente to Larrakia to Naarm. Their work centres culture, language, Country and community. An inspirational circle to be part of.

‘Connected Through Country’ showcases the work of the No Fixed Gallery collective, featuring Arrernte leaders, artists and sisters Amunda, Grace, Myra and Ashaan Gorey. Through art, the exhibition celebrates culture, kinship, storytelling and connection to Country, while celebrating beauty, earth and healing.

If you’re in Naarm, take the opportunity to visit Connected Through Country while it’s on display, and support the incredible work of Children’s Ground and No Fixed Gallery.

Congratulations to everyone who brought this exhibition to life.

During NAIDOC Week, we facilitated one of our signature Healing Activations, In Right Relationship with Country, with the beautiful team at lululemon Australia and New Zealand. 🙏🏾

Bringing together cultural protocol, breathwork, storytelling and reflection, we created space for connection and wellbeing.

Thank you for your generosity and warm welcome. It was a privilege to share this experience together.

Stories are medicine.

This year, as we celebrate ten years of Mindful Mob, we’re going back to the beginning to share the books that have quietly sat with us ~ shaping our thinking, opening our minds as healers, strengthening our relationships and inspiring our journey.

We begin with The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz.

What book has left a lasting legacy on your life?
