๐ŸŒผ York Yorgas Kambarang Program - From Our Hands ๐ŸŒผ

The York Yorgas Women's Group welcomes the season of Kambarang, a time of renewal, growth, and abundance on Noongar Boodja. As the weather warms and wildflowers begin to bloom, Kambarang reminds us of the importance of connecting with Country, culture, creativity, and each other.

Beginning in September, the women will gather each Wednesday from 10:00am to 1:00pm at the Post Office Building, 134 Avon Terrace, York WA 6302, as part of the From Our Hands Program. Facilitated by Sultana Shamshi, participants will learn to design and craft unique jewellery pieces using natural materials found in nature, while sharing stories, building skills, and exploring creative expression in a supportive and culturally safe environment.

๐ŸŒฟ Week 5 Cultural Excursion To celebrate the journey and connections made throughout the program, the women will enjoy a day cultural excursion to Talbot Brook for a picnic, bush walk, and yarn on Country. This special day will provide an opportunity to connect with nature, share cultural knowledge, and enjoy time together outdoors.

We welcome Aboriginal women to join us as we gather, create, learn, and connect throughout this beautiful season of Kambarang.
