As the global wellness industry continues to grow, how are Indigenous people maintaining their own practices, adapting them to changing contemporary contexts, and engaging others in conversations about wellbeing? 

Non-Indigenous people have a long and shaded history of misappropriating and misrepresenting wellness principles and practices from other cultures.

But what can non-Indigenous people learn from Indigenous understandings of wellness? 

Host, Rhianna Patrick dives into the Indigenous wellness world with Luke Currie Richardson (instagram influencer, filmmaker and photographer), Dwayne Bannon- Harrison (Bring Back the Warrior), Jamie Marloo Thomas (co-founder of Wayapa Wuurrk) and Bianca Stawiarski (Warinda Wholistic Wellness).

This podcast is supported by the Judith Neilson Institute for Journalism and Ideas.

The term Blak was first used by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander visual artist, Destiny Deacon in the early 90s. Blak is a term used by some Aboriginal people to reclaim historical, representational, symbolical, stereotypical and romanticised notions of Black or Blackness. This type of spelling may have been appropriated from U.S hip-hop.
