We were beyond honoured to have The Returning host the week-long start to their 12 month regional Arts and Culture Residency at The Sunseeker in the DEADLIEST of Good Trouble gatherings.  

THE RETURNING – an all-female, Indigenous and mother-run program – provides holistic, art and nature therapy to community across the region, rooted in the belief that returning to Indigenous ways of relating, reciprocity, care and connection are essential for collective healing and well-being for both Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities.

The week was rich with food, weaving, ceramics, ancient wisdom, BLAK business, knowledge sharing and deadly connection.

Buglebeh to Ella and the team for considering us. You are a FORCE OF NATURE.
