Understanding and Respecting Country - Online Event

Front line community work in Redfern, Australia is a training ground for the uninitiated. Cultures clash and boundary lines are constantly redrawn, often documented in the national media. It is a space where morality is tested and for better or worse, personal qualities are revealed. It is also a place where human restoration, reconstruction and reconnection occur, it is the birthplace of many Australian heroes, and where the COURAGE Coaching Model immerged from humble beginnings with Gamarada Universal Indigenous Resources, Managing Director – Ken Zulumovski.
Ken’s tribal name is Kira-dhan, he is an initiated Kubbi Kubbi first nations man, a former soldier of the Royal Australian Army and a professional services consultant. He studied the application of Dadirri (da-did-ee) a traditional, Indigenous contemplative practice of ‘deep listening and quiet stillness’ for leadership, trauma recovery, and for wholistic, health under Senior Australian of the year, Tribal Elder Miriam-Rose Ungunmerr-Baumanan of the Daly River NT.
Da-did-ee involves an experiential process of generating acute awareness to the self, the present, and the task ahead by connecting to people and country, understanding circumstantial change, seeing what bonds us, and using tools to connect deeper with people. It respects ancestral lineages, which is increasingly applicable to the architecture space today.
