This delightful set has been designed by Sherren Gross a woman of the Nanukul, Nughie and Gorenpul People from Mijjerribah (North Stadbroke Island) in Quandamooka (Moreton Bay).
It represents a yarning circle , a traditional way of coming together in a group to share and to keep relationships good through communication.This was a great way for our young ones to observe and learn respectful ways and interactions. Set includes 1 play mat/ carry bag with centre art piece, 10 diverse dolls, set of discussion cards to encourage conversation.
There are many purposes or benefits that can come from a yarning circle. Foremost there is a subject to discuss and all gathered have an opportunity to take their turn to freely speak. This shared communication creates as well as an understanding of different people’s feelings and point of view, the means to resolve any issues with informed decisions.This was done in honesty by all involved.
The yarning circle is the strengthening reminder of the importance of keeping cultural practices for our childrens education and future. Most of all bonds that were built were through yarning.
