Podcasts about Bundjalung

Jocelyn King is on the show today. Joc is a Bundjalung woman who over the course of her life and career has worked to develop her own understanding of and connection to traditional knowledge systems. She's worked in and around finance for more than a decade, where today she is the Chair of First Australians Capital. At the same time, she's building a farm in NSW's Hunter Valley that reprises First Nations knowledge of caring for and re-awakening Country while adapting regenerative agricultural practices too. Jocelyn walks the talk as she seeks to advocate for First Nations justice, truth telling and self-determination, while also appreciating the limitations of working and interacting with capitalist neoliberal systems that do their best to erode equity, habitats and power dynamics.I was very humbled and very honoured to spend this time with Jocelyn. The sharing she offered and wisdom imparted on me - a non-Indigenous ancestor of colonisers - was remarkable to experience. My efforts as a non-Indigenous man to act in allyship with First Nations people feels too limited for my liking, which I'm ashamed to say, but feels true. My efforts to support, listen and prompt questioning feels like an area I want to evolve and advance this year, which I'm hopeful to do through our upcoming project Eating Country to Save Country. As a white man I was genuinely enthralled and privileged to have this time with Jocelyn.In this chat we cover a lot of ground - from reparations for past harms financiers have facilitated including the origins of banking in Australia to flipping mindsets and stories from extractive to responsibility oriented to the role of listening in truth telling. It felt like we barely scratched the surface but leaves me looking forward to speaking with Jocelyn again in the future.Efforts to make good for the harms perpetrated on First Nations people in this country for over two centuries has a very long way to go. The struggle is sobering but the resolve of Australia's First Nations people is a remarkable story of perseverance, unity and love, and Jocelyn does a beautiful job of offering her own experience, strength and hope here.The April Finding Nature journal hits inboxes this Saturday morning and it's on the topic of unity. Ina ll we heard from Jocelyn today and with that theme in mind, this quote from Tony Evans struck me in our combined efforts to seek voice, treaty and truth in this country: “Unity is oneness of purpose, not sameness of persons.”Til next time, thanks for listening.Events are live and more are coming - follow on Humanitix.Follow on LinkedIn, Substack and Instagram. Today's show is delivered with Altiorem.

Whether you call them traditional foods, native ingredients, bush tucker or something else, what's harvested here is unique. Australia's a “megadiverse” country, home to around 700,000 species. 65,000-year-old grindstones found in a Kakadu rock shelter reflect the long, rich history of First Nations foods here and many plants are nutritional wonders – Kakadu plum has the highest vitamin C level in the world and even Captain Cook used Warrigal greens to save crews from scurvy. But witchetty grubs appear in Sweden's Disgusting Food Museum and native ingredients are largely absent from supermarkets, so are First Nations foods misunderstood and unfairly overlooked? In this episode, Lee Tran Lam talks to proud Bundjalung woman and cookbook author Mindy Woods, Chinese Australian chef Kylie Kwong and proud Mbabaram woman/Torres Strait Islander and nutritionist Sharna Motlap.

Join us for a thought-provoking yarn with Bundjalung woman Ella Noah Bancroft, a storyteller, artist, and activist reshaping the conversation around decolonisation, community, and Indigenous-led solutions. Ella shares her journey of growing up on Country, the wisdom of her matriarchal lineage, and how she has dedicated her life to reclaiming First Nations ways of being. We explore the transformative power of women-centred societies, the role of food and land sovereignty in healing our communities, and the importance of rest as an act of resistance against colonial capitalism. Through her work with The Returning, Ella is creating spaces where women can reconnect with cultural knowledge, challenge oppressive systems, and nurture future generations. This episode is an inspiring call to action to rethink the way we live, lead, and connect.

First Nations cooking and having native ingredients in every Aussie kitchen is a dream for native food queen and proud Bundjalung woman, MasterChef finalist and fan-favourite Mindy Woods. 

In today's episode, I interview Dr. Jason Hawrelak who is a naturopath, herbalist, and nutritionist on Bundjalung country, and is one of the leading experts in the treatment of gastrointestinal conditions with natural medicines. He has nearly 20 years of clinical experience and a deep passion for gastrointestinal health and the gastrointestinal microbiota. I met Jason at the beginning of this year at Marleen Herbs in Tasmania, with some other incredible inspirational herb folk who have been interviewed on this podcast like Greg Whitten, Sue Evans, and Nena Alaschewski, as well as Jason's partner Dawn Whitten, who I will be interviewing soon. Marleen herbs is run by Ronald, Marleen and Emma van de Winckel, who welcomed us all into their home and showed us their amazing farm which grows and makes all of the fresh plant tinctures for PPC herbs which are the only commercial suppliers of fresh plant tinctures in Australia. It really was a great way to start off 2024, and I felt humbled and honoured to have the opportunity to spend time with these incredible people who have all had a big influence and impact on the Australian herbal medicine community and natural health industry. Jason purchased Goulds in Tasmania 17 years ago with Dawn, Greg, and their friends Belinda and Daniel Robson. Jason shares how he was inspired by his time working at Mullum herbals, to create a clinic in Hobart which offered over the counter consultations for low income earners. In this interview Jason also shares his journey of becoming a practitioner and specializing in gastrointestinal health and the human microbiota, and how healing his own chronic health conditions with natural medicine spurred him to want to help others. Jason shares some of his preferred herbs that he uses in his practice, particularly for gut health and microbiome issues. He highlights the selectivity of certain herbs, such as pomegranate, garlic, Nigella sativa, and Bical skullcap, in targeting pathogenic bacteria while leaving beneficial ones intact. In this episode Jason shares some great practical advise on how our listeners can take better care of our microbiome and finishes with some great wisdom about custodianship of our bodies.

Oh hey there! We've missed you. We're back for Season 3 with one of our faves, Erin Lovell Verinder. Erin Lovell Verinder's entire career is about reconnecting the people with the plants. She is a woman on a mission to bring people along on her journey to become in tune with the natural world and inspire others to heal through the beauty of plant medicine.  Erin is a nutritionist, a herbalist, a teacher, and a writer, having published Plants for the People in 2020, followed by The Plant Clinic the following year.

And we're drooling over the perennials, and the colour collections, at Veggie & Flower Garden Seeds. We're going to need a big heap of Milkwood's Perfect Seed Raising Mix to grow everything this spring. Watch out when you mix lavenders :-)

Melissa Lucashenko is a Miles Franklin award winning author of Bundjalung and European heritage. Her novels include Killing Darcy, Mullumbimby and Too Much Lip. Today we're going to be discovering her latest, Edenglassie. In the 1850's Meanjin/Brisbane is a mix of people from across the world, some transported for hard time, others drawn to the region for economic gain. Since the invaders arrived the local Yagara people have viewed them with suspicion and curiosity, unsure whether they might ever be able to regain their ancestral lands. Mulanyin has come to the area now known as Edenglassie and there he has discovered the beautiful Nita. Torn between his love and his home Mulanyin must navigate his path into manhood and the fraught times he finds himself in. In 2024 Meanjin/Brisbane is on the verge of two hundred years if settler colonial occupation. That might mean more to Granny Eddie if she wasn't stuck in the hospital waiting for whatever it is these doctors do. Eddie is more than a hundred years old and she's got a few stories to tell about the city. But that doesn't mean she'll give up her secrets easily and certainly not to the first white guy who asks.  Edengalssie weaves two tales separated by time but bound by place. Melissa Lucashenko takes us back to the beginnings of the occupied lands around Maiwar, which we now know as the Brisbane River. She reminds us that the land was not unoccupied and in fact these are the traditional lands of the Jagera and Turrball people.  Against the backdrop of struggle for dominance we meet Mulanyin and Nita. what follows is ostensibly a love story set to the rhythm of a land that is poised for violence.  Mulanyin is certain of his love for Nita but he is also eager to prove himself and unsure of the ways of the white people who are ignorant of the law and the land. Mulanyin and Nita will pursue their love but they must do so in a world that may not want them to succeed. All these stories are so much history to the residents of Granny Eddie's world but she knows the truth. That doesn't mean she's going to tell it straight. As Granny Eddie's tales of early Brisbane bring her fame and notoriety she watches her niece Winona and her Doctor Johnny play out their own courting rituals. Johnny's only recently discovered his own blak heritage and that won't fly for Winona. She's sick of people claiming heritage they haven't earned and isn't going to make it easy on him. Edenglassie is a thought provoking, disarming and at times hilarious novel. Through the contrasting narratives Lucashenko effectively overthrows simplistic views of early colonial interventions and reclaims the story on behalf of the people whose land was stolen. She gives us a time when perhaps history may have taken a different direction and allows us to understand the vicissitudes of time and power that shaped the world we live in today. Fast forward to 2024 and Lucashenkpo reminds of the very real and ongoing history those events have created. Through Granny Eddie and particularly in the sparring between Winona and Johnny we see the ongoing pain and struggle to reconcile the past with a present and a future that does not tell the truth. Edenglassie is a tremendous novel and one well worth the reading.

The indigenous Bundjalung people of eastern Australia have long used Tea Tree as a traditional medicine for many years in a variety of ways, including inhaling the oil from the crushed leaves, rubbing leaves on their skin and brewing an infusion of the leaves to make a tea. The latter use is why Captain Cook named the plant the tea tree. One of the areas where tea tree grows in abundance today is called Bungawalbyn, which translates to mean ‘healing ground.' This captures the essence of this plant, which gifts you her essential oil when the leaves are steam-distilled. Today, Tea Tree, the most famous member of the Melaleuca family, is an Australian favourite due to its cleansing and cleaning properties.

Footage from last month's Invasion Day rallies around Australia featured speakers urging those gathered to vote ‘No' in the promised Indigenous Voice to Parliament referendum expected later this year. Most Australians would think the vast majority of First Nations people would support a ‘Yes' vote – but that's not necessarily the case.   In this two-part special, we speak to advocates from both sides of the debate so we can better understand what's at stake when we eventually get our chance to vote in the referendum. In this episode, we hear from a proud Bundjalung woman and human rights advocate, Vanessa Turnbull Roberts, about why she's opposing the voice.

Hello, I'm Lachlan Rutherford and I'm Jacinta Dietrich and we are delighted to announce that in 2023 we will be launching Differently Brained, the podcast where no brain is the same.  Differently Brained is an own voices podcast where each fortnight we interview a neurodivergent guest or a guest who has lived experience with mental health challenges.  We talk to a diverse range of people with a focus on telling individual stories and championing the different ways we all exist in the world.  We hope that these discussions will help to break down the stigmas and misconceptions around neurodivergence and mental health, and normalise these conversations in our community.  At this point, you're probably wondering who we are, and fair enough.  Lachlan Rutherford is a writer and editor who lives on Bundjalung country (Lismore, Northern NSW). Lachlan is a master of the brain, with years of mental health highs and lows. His official diagnosis is bipolar disorder, trichotillomania and generalised anxiety - a spicy mix to keep him on his toes.  Jacinta Dietrich is a writer and editor who lives on Wurundjeri country in Naarm (Melbourne, Victoria). Jacinta is a wizard with the letters in more ways than one - she is autistic with ADHD for a bit of extra flavour. She also has a family history of suicidality, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder.  We have a cracker season lined up for you in 2023 with so many exciting guests and conversations we can't wait to share with you.  In our regular interviews we chat all things autism, ADHD, anxiety, bipolar, binge eating, depression, suicidality and so so much more. We will also drop bonus episode across the season on topics we feel deserve a deep dive episode all of their own (Jacinta really just wants an excuse to have a Heartbreak High review episode).  We are also lucky enough to have some amazing giveaways coming up that you'll definitely want to be around for.  We have a lot of hopes for Differently Brained, but our main hopes are that if the content speaks to you, we hope that you feel seen, represented and maybe less alone or different.  And for those of you that may not be able to relate to the content, we hope it widens your understanding and awareness and helps you better support those in your life who may want to have these conversations themselves.   If you like the sound of Differently Brained, please subscribe to the show so you can get it in your ears the minute we drop and even leave a review telling us what you are most looking forward to.  If you want to get in touch with us, we are always keen to hear from listeners, potential guests and future podcast sponsors. You can reach us at our email differentlybrainedpodcast@gmail.com or our Instagram handle is @differentlybrainedpodcast.  We are so excited to bring this project to you in 2023 and hope you love it as much as we do.    Show credits  This episode was produced by Lachlan Rutherford and Jacinta Dietrich.   How to find us  Follow us on Instagram Join our private Facebook community Follow us on Twitter Check out our website Shoot us an email to differentlybrainedpodcast@gmail.com Follow our personal stuff - @jacintadietrich & @ruthooftheloch   About the podcast Differently Brained shares the opinions of individuals and does not consider your personal circumstances.

My guest today, Benjamin Berry, is a Wim Hof trained breath work instructor who has had a variety of roles in emergency response and rescue operations. In today's episode, Benny shares not one but two incredible stories of transformation and growth. The first story is of his own personal health journey and his challenges with pain, that led him to embodiment and breathwork, and just some outcomes that will just blow you away.  We talk about the amazing physiological, mental, and emotional benefits of this work and more than that, the unquantifiable and intrinsic benefits that we just FEEL doing this work.  Like many things in life this work opened Benny up to seeing the world in a different way, and he shares that “we can't heal the physical body until we heal all of the other parts of the body first”. The second story he shares is of his experience during the floods here in Northern NSW in February and March this year. During this time Benny found himself right in the middle of rescue efforts, leaning on his former background in this area, and he kind of became the reluctant face of the civilian-led rescue operations in the media. He shares what happened during this time, how his message was skewed by much of the media, and how this ultimately led to an outflowing of generosity from across the country shortly after. The through line between these two stories is returning to ourselves. From the incredible healing benefits of the breath and our ability to look after ourselves, we can also create community that looks after one another. And this is exactly what Benny does in his work. We recorded this conversation in Newrybar hall on Bundjalung land right after one of Benny's ‘Conscious Club' breath and ice sessions. I was freezing and still shivering for much of this conversation, and I enjoyed every bit of it nonetheless, and I know you will too.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today on the podcast, we are graced with the presence of Ella Noah Bancroft, An indigenous-born artist, storyteller, published author, public speaker, mentor, and founder of The Returning Indigenous Organisation.  A proud Bundjalung woman- for the past decade, Ella has been deeply invested in decolonizing to thrive across all aspects of community, helping both indigenous and non-indigenous folk connect to the immense depth of knowledge and spirit her culture and this great land holds.  Ella, accompanied by Jataya, a young Bundjalung girl she mentors, chats with Mason about the recent Northern Rivers Floods in which she has played an integral role at the Koori Mail hub in Lismore. This 100% volunteer, First Nations-led response team for a natural disaster that shook the Northern Rivers to its core saw our First Nations brothers and sisters protect, support, and provide for a broken community when they had nothing. Ella shares her experience of volunteering at the hub and witnessing her community stand up as a backbone to the people of Lismore. "It's been an incredible way for us to reclaim what our cultural role is here, which is to protect all community, anybody that is on these lands, that we, us that have blood ties to these lands- It's our purpose to be here, to protect everybody. More than human kin and the natural world included in that space".   This heart-centered, wisdom-filled conversation is about bridging the disconnect between indigenous and non-indigenous Australia through building better relationships, investing in country and community, and building businesses that replenish and work with the natural world rather than those that extract and destroy it.  A must-listen, tune in now.     "Business doesn't need to eradicate just because we start to appreciate a more nature based world, or a more reciprocal way of being in the world. Actually, we can thrive and a big part of that thriving, I think is also moving away from individualistic needs and figuring out what community needs".   - Ella Noah Bancroft   Ella and Mason discuss: -Localisation. -Community. -Mental health. -Investing in community first. -First Nations wisdom; guiding us to a better world. -Lismore floods - the aftermath and where it's at now. -Investing in the natural world over the man-made world. -Koori Mail; A First Nation's led response team in the floods. -Community work for indigenous mob affected by the floods. -Business designed to work with and replenish the natural world.   Who is Ella Noah Bancroft? Ella is a Bundjalung woman and also has bloodlines to England, Poland and Scotland.  Indigenous born artist, storyteller, published author, public speaker, mentor and founder of “The Returning Indigenous Organisation." Ella has been promoting re-wilding and the importance of system change, as a way back to deep relationship nature and decolonizing of personal, social and ecological well-being for 10 years.  She has been on the board for Women Up North since 2019 . Women Up North is a Northern NSW service for women, children and young people who have experienced domestic or family violence or abuse. Ella is an active community member to all humans, more than human kin and the natural world.   RESOURCE GUIDE:   Guest: Koori Mail Ella's website Ella's instagram Women Up North Work with Ella Noah Bancroft The Returning Indigenous Organisation Donate to The Returning Indigenous Organisation   Books:  It Takes Courage To Tell The Truth - book by Ella Noah Bancroft   Check Out The Transcript Here: https://www.superfeast.com.au/blogs/articles/ella-noah-bancroft-ep-164  

About a third of young people follow a 'finfluencer', and heaps of them actually change their financial behaviour as a result. But now Australia's corporate watchdog ASIC is cracking down on people who share unlicensed financial advice on social media. If they don't shut down, they could cop a $1 million fine or even jail time. Plus, there's so much content circulating about the war between Russia and Ukraine. So how do you work out what's real, and what's propaganda? And we chat to Rabbitohs star, Bundjalung and Yuin man Cody Walker. He opens up about the challenges he's faced - grief, injury, isolation - while trying to make it in the NRL. Guests: A/Prof. Matt Sussex, ANU Dr Angel Zhong, RMIT

This week we are rebroadcasting our interview with Ella Noah Bancroft, originally aired in March of 2021. “We forget that so much is given freely, that this world is meant to be enjoyed.” We heed this powerful reminder by guest Ella Noah Bancroft. As our belief systems have become entwined with the dominant economic structure, we see the commodification of our wellness, intimacy, and connectivity - a phenomenon that is severely hindering our ability to connect authentically. In conversation, Ella traces the powerful connection between our ability to go against mainstream capitalist ways of being and our capacity for deep connection with ourselves and each other. With intimacy as an entrance point, our conversation explores what happens when we derive our pleasure from extraction, the kind of deep embodiment and connectivity that threatens capitalistic and colonial structures, and how we can journey back into spaces of trust through practices that don't have to cost us a thing. Ella Noah Bancroft is a Bundjalung woman based in the Northern New South Wales, Australia. Ella identifies as mixed heritage Indigenous, gay woman. She grew up living in both worlds, her Indigenous world and the mainstream Australian world. Both challenged her identity in different ways. She is an Australian born artist, storyteller, mentor and founder of “The Returning” and Yhi Collective. Music by Harrison Foster, Lady Moon & The Eclipse, and Sucúlima.
