Re: Yarning for community

Lovely to meet you @ArraDreaming!

 

Heelers are great dogs! How old is yours? 3/4 of mine are about 8-9yrs old and then there's a 3/12yr old.

 

In order from largest to smallest - I have a Bull Mastiff x Bull Arab, Heeler x Kelpie, Kelpie x Bull Arab and a little one who (we think) is a Terrier x, but I'm not 100% sure.

 

And I think the best things (hard to narrow it down to one) about being First Nations is how it's shaped who I am, by creating a beautiful sense of community and how connected I feel to animals and my environment. How about yourself? And anyone else that would like to join in.

Re: Yarning for community

Hey @defaultusername nice to meet you!
What kind of dog do you have?
My dog is a heeler.
What is the best part for you about being First Nations?

Re: Yarning for community

Hey you mob,

 

I am Brinja-Yuin, Djiringanj and Gamilaroi, and I am living on beautiful Yuin Country.

 

Thank you very much for having me, I think this is a great idea! And I am looking forward to getting to know you all better. 🙂

 

Something that helps my social and emotional wellbeing is making more time for self-care; whether it's being on Country, visiting mob, or simply spending time outside with my dogs.

 

Hope everyone is having/has had a deadly week!

Hi You Mob 

I have joined this yarning cycle and are looking forward to talking with you all. 

I am a Palawa Elder who enjoys helping other mobs as I understand our hardship when facing issues that require support. 

I have 2 son's and 5 grandchildren and 3 adopted grandchildren, and a 10 Yō cat I love and spoil,

looking forward to yarning soon.

The ocean and moving water always has a connection to saltwater people. 
Just the sound and movement makes people so relaxed. It can be mesmerising and be just as good as being on country. 
Even for a freshwater person, the ocean draws you near with the sound alone. 

Re: Yarning for community

I spend a lot of my spare time at the river or in the ocean it is calming

Re: Yarning for community

Welcome @RugbyAFL! Nice to meet you

I agree with the water too - we have a river by our house that I like to swim in with our dog sometimes

Re: Yarning for community

Nothing better than feeling country between your toes and having that connection. It’s like the conduit is complete again and again with every step. 
It’s the same feeling I get relaxing in the healing waters of Kamilaroi country. 
Takes away so much anxiety and stress 

Re: Yarning for community

My favourite thing to do to help when I am stressed is go for a walk barefoot on country with my family
