BlackCard’s Workshop is  a shared learning of Aboriginal Approaches to Knowledge. Deep Learning & Deep Listening enhances the attendees working relationships with all people not only Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Dr Lilla Watson, Co-Founder BlackCard

Attending a workshop with Mundanara was a life-changing experience for Her deep understanding and commitment to her work is an inspiration as she welcomes us to walk in her world. Allowing everyone to open their eyes and ears to see things differently, while at the same time challenging many of our existing belief systems.
