Workshops
Our signature “Scar Tree Wellbeing” workshop is designed to explore the cultural significance of Aboriginal scar trees and draw a metaphor between the physical scars on trees and the symbolic scars in Aboriginal people’s lives. Just as scar trees bear the marks of purposeful removal—used to create tools, canoes, or shelters—Aboriginal people carry the scars of lived experience, history, and survival. These marks are not signs of damage, but of strength, cultural continuity, and identity. Both scar trees and Aboriginal people stand as living testaments to endurance, knowledge, and connection to Country. The Scar Tree Wellbeing Workshop is a culturally immersive three-day experience designed to foster deep connection and understanding of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander knowledge systems, values, and culture. Each participant receives after care to ensure they are supported after the workshop with their specific needs.
Grounded Pathways also offer tailor made workshops based on the needs of the community, or organisations, such as ‘Alcohol and other Drugs’ and ‘Working with Aboriginal People’. We are also accredited trainers to deliver the widely popular “Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Mental Health First Aid” and “Deadly Thinking – Youth ” training.
