SESSION 1

The following are recommendations only. No pressure at all.

Reflection Prompts:

• Be Fascinated with yourself as the subject of your research. What comes up for you after our first session? What questions, observations and experiences are emerging? What are you curious about? What does and doesn’t make sense?

• Triangulating between the three areas in Fieldwork, how do you understand your relationship with your field of inheritance, the land beneath your feet and your imprint in this world?

• As you are exposed to the ideas and cultural-spiritual-relational framing in Fieldwork, what do you recognise / remember / recall / re-discover / awaken within yourself?

Recommended Documentation:

You can document your growth in many ways. Some suggestions include -

• Journal each day and jot down what you notice in the areas of Land / Country - Legacy / Ancestry and Country / Land. Write poetically and generously and curiously and openly.

• Each day walk outside and engage with the land in some small way, you can write a tiny note to yourself, or bring a leaf or pebble or pick up a piece of rubbish. You can grow a physical collection of treasures or simply write a word each day to remind you of your interaction.

• Make a list of people whose legacy you are carrying forward. Artists, revolutionaries, parents, elders, activists, strategists, writers etc…

Recommended Reading / Watching / Engaging with

• Rewatch our session following the link emailed to you with the recording.

• Watch ABLAZE, the award-winning documentary by my colleague, mentor and family Tiriki Onus, by renting or purchasing on any platform. This documentary gives insight into some of the strength, resistance and incredible stories that come from the land beneath my feet - The Kulin Nations.

• Listen to Natalie Diaz and David Naimon on Between the Covers. Both PART 1 and PART 2 are a deep dive into Indigenous strength, complexity and artistic practice.

• I highly recommend reading INFLAMED by Rupa Marya and Raj Patel.
