The Wiradjuri Wave

I had great time with my team painting experience. The teacher was very helpful the activity was fun I would recommend to anyone

It was amazing,I enjoyed it a lot and I learnt painting.

We highly recommend the Cultural Awareness and Painting Workshop with Peta. She is a passionate and knowledgeable guide who will help you learn about Aboriginal culture and create a unique piece of art that reflects your personal story and comes together as one with the stories of the group. It was a calming experience and we look forward to more in the future.

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.

A fantastic experience. Peta Joy was so interesting, it was great to hear her story and her ability to guide us through painting our individual stories to create a really meaningful piece of art was so impressive! Individually we are unique, together we're a masterpiece, the experience was a wonderful metaphor for working together.

Peta Joy is an absolute star. She explained everything in detail, eloquently and also in her own humor (which we appreciated). She encouraged everyone to ask questions and did not make anyone feel out of place or such for asking. We highly recommend this cultural session with Peta to anyone, absolutely beautiful! Thank you!

Our organisation did this as a team building activity and it was great! Peta was excellent, very generous with sharing her knowledge and personal experiences, and it was great to have something that represented our team’s stories at the end of the workshop. Highly recommend

We had held a cultrual awareness workshop with Peta last November. The team really enjoyed it and we now have our artwork up on our office wall. Thanks Peta!

Peta-Joy ran a fantastic session with our team, to open up the conversation about Indigenous Cultural Awareness. The team loved it and were full of energy after the fun painting session. Peta-Joy's message was received well and everyone left the session with a new appreciation.

Peta-Joy was a wonderful host & we all got a lot out of the class

Amazing experience with Peta-Joy. We had a team of 100+ people across 3 shifts and every one of them loved it. Thanks Peta-Joy for such great sessions.

Peta Joy was fabulous and engaging with the young people during the workshop.
