Song Flags are the aboriginal equivalent to the wonderful Tibetan Prayer

Flags. " Singing things up " is akin to praying, meditating, calling in

your totem energies for guidance, protection or help.

 

 

In this workshop we will explore the strengths and characteristics of

these amazing Australian animals, connect to them and then one by one

paint their symbols on our own

flags.

 

We have been given permission to use the uniquely Aboriginal style of

painting to create our own beautiful Flags.

 

 

Your completed flags are to be hung up outside to wave in the wind, to

give life and energy to the symbols, to call in peace and harmony and to

honour the elementals and the

universe from which we all come. These flags will assist in your healing

and that of your family, community and mother Earth. As they move in the

flow of the breeze they energize and balance.

Minmia is an Aboriginal senior woman, grandmother, educator, artist and

healer. She is a custodian of women's lore/law of the Wirradjirri people

(an Aboriginal nation in New South Wales stretching down to Dunedoo in

Victoria). Minmia believes strongly that these powerful symbols need to

be releasedand that they need people to connect to. They need to be

honoured and energized for their own healing and to help heal mother

earth. To support this evolution, Min has given her permission for Sue

to teach this workshop and pass on the knowledge. You can read more

Quandong Tree " www.minmia.com.au <http://www.minmia.com.au/>
