The Institute for Self Crafting is on the traditional Land of the Dhurga speaking people of the Walbunja Yuin Nation. We pay respects to their Elders. We recognise and celebrate the ongoing connection between land, sky, water and community and the beauty and strength of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, with deep respect for the ongoing traditions of health knowledge, treatment and nature connection which have been practiced for generations.
