The Meeting Point Leadership Responsibility and First Peoples Sovereignty
2026-07-10 09:45 - 2026-10-09 09:45 (Australia/Melbourne) | Various beginning at Koorie Heritage Trust, Federation Square, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
The Meeting Point is a leadership learning journey for non-Indigenous people who want to deepen understanding, reflect on responsibilities to people, place and Country, and consider what respectful relationship and contribution might require of us.
Through a small group and a carefully held learning container, we engage with First Peoples perspectives, honest conversation and the ongoing practice of accountable allyship.
Learning throughout the program is grounded in First Peoples voices, perspectives and guest contributions, and the space is held by two non-Indigenous facilitators.
We are guided by First Peoples perspectives, the AIATSIS Code of Ethics and Ambelin Kwaymullina’s Living on Stolen Land, seeking to act in the right spirit, with integrity and respect for Country and all living things.

Through a series of simple prompts and shared moments, people begin to notice what often gets missed in busy, structured environments.
This experience is for anyone who wants to move beyond surface level understanding and feel a deeper connection to themselves, each other, and the place they stand.

Author Talk with Joy Makepeace 'Finding the Joy Within'
2026-06-03 14:00 - 16:00 | Victoria
Finding the Joy Within is a courageous and deeply personal memoir of identity, survival and spiritual reclamation.
A Stolen Generations survivor, Joy Makepeace grew up walking in two worlds, feeling too black to belong in a white world, and too white to be accepted by her own mob. Beneath her smile, questions of identity, worth, and belonging quietly shaped her life.
As she navigates trauma, mental health challenges, motherhood and the enduring ache of disconnection, Joy invites readers into the raw and often unspoken realities of carrying intergenerational pain. But this is not only a story of struggle.
Through meditation, deep self-listening, and fierce commitment to healing, Joy begins to uncover something that can’t be stolen – her true self. Tender, confronting, and ultimately empowering, Finding the Joy Within is a testament to resilience, reclamation and the determination of choosing to heal.

This is more than a book talk — it is an opportunity to sit in community, reflect on the impacts of intergenerational trauma, and witness the strength of healing.
Attendees can expect an authentic, culturally grounded experience that honours Reconciliation through listening, learning, and connection.
