This leg of the journey asked something different of me.
The work became experiential — not just something I deliver, but something I live. In the work I do, I weave spiritual and cultural ways of knowing so participants don’t just learn about culture… they feel it, connect to it, and experience it as living practice.
Spending time on some of the most spiritually connected lands in this country called me to slow right down. To return to Country. To return to self. To return to spirit.
There were moments where everything else fell away — no timelines, no pressure, no “what’s next.” Just listening deeply and being fully present.
Transitioning from that space, from women’s camp where time felt still, back into the pace of work and everyday connection wasn’t instant. It took a few days to find my rhythm again. To reconnect with time, schedules, expectations.
But when it came back… it came back with clarity.
A renewed energy.
A deeper purpose.
A passion for life and love that’s hard to put into words.
And right on time, the work flowed in.
Private consultancy has picked up — just when I needed to keep the wheels turning. I often say I’m working to travel just as much as I’m travelling to work… and right now, that balance feels aligned.
New opportunities are presenting themselves, reinforcing that this journey — this ‘Stamp it Out’ campaign, is far from over.
Communities across the country are reaching out, inviting Boomerang on the Road in to support workforce development and build capacity in responding to family, domestic and sexual violence. That tells me this work is needed. And it’s being called forward.
Through Boomerang Consultancy, I continue to offer cultural supervision — supporting practitioners working with both men who use violence and victim survivors. This work goes deep. It asks practitioners to understand the gendered and colonial drivers of violence, the patterns of coercive control, and importantly, to reflect on how they show up in the work.
Sometimes that reflection is confronting. But it’s also where growth happens.
Cultural supervision is about learning to listen differently — to hear the harmful narratives, sit with them, and respond with awareness, accountability, and care. It’s about practice that is grounded, culturally informed, and deeply intentional.
And now… the road continues.
En route to Darwin, with more training ahead and more opportunities to keep Stamping it Out along the way.
This journey isn’t slowing down — it’s deepening.
