Storyline Art and Yarning – Finding Home on Country

Nhuralama presents a culturally grounded workshop experience exploring the meaning of home through connection, storytelling, and creative expression.

Facilitated by Anne Leon, this session invites participants to reflect on home as a sense of belonging, identity, and connection to people and place. Drawing on her lived experience growing up in Tulmur (Ipswich), Anne shares personal stories of connection to Country, community, and culture.

Participants engage in a yarning circle before creating a small artwork such as a story card, canvas or bookmark inspired by their own journey.

This experience offers a contemporary First Nations perspective of home as living, felt, and carried — grounded in connection to Country and shared through story.

Includes guided cultural storytelling and yarning experience
