• 5/5 from My Tran, attended Jul 2023: I recently had the incredible opportunity to participate in the Cultural Awareness and Painting Workshop led by Peta Joy Williams. This workshop deserves nothing less than a 5-star review! Peta's passion for her culture shines through every aspect of the workshop. She graciously shared her personal experiences, her language, and the rich history of Aboriginal Art, creating a profound understanding and appreciation for Indigenous Australian culture. It was a truly enlightening and eye-opening experience. The hands-on painting activity was the perfect culmination of the workshop. Each member of our team worked on their own mini canvas, using Aboriginal symbols to tell our individual personal stories. Peta's guidance and expertise helped us translate our emotions and experiences onto the canvas, creating a visual representation of our unique narratives. The beauty of it all was that these individual canvases came together to form a bigger picture, symbolizing the interconnectedness of our stories and reminding us that we are part of something greater. I highly recommend this workshop to individuals and teams alike. It offers a profound cultural experience, fosters meaningful connections, and provides a creative outlet for self-expression. Peta's knowledge, talent, and warm demeanor make this workshop an unforgettable and valuable experience.
• 5/5 from Justine Lewis, attended Jun 2023: A fantastic experience.
