The Wildflower Circle was formed to create a nurturing and safe space for young Indigenous women by weaving our cultural dreamtime and stories of strength, resilience and self-determination.
Our hearts weave together from many parts of this country we call home, intertwining to learn and foster new relationships. Together, we support each other, becoming a powerful force for change and catalysts for a brighter future.

Our Vision
The Wildflower Circle weaves our culture, stories of strength, resilience, and self-determination together to create a safe and nurturing space for young Indigenous women.
Where ideas on how to benefit communities are not only shared but are acted upon with the support of a deadly team bringing knowledge and strength from different mobs across the country.
A Safe Space - This ‘third space’ encourages mob to not ‘give up’ on culture to live in a Western society, but rather empowers them to stand strong while navigating what can feel like a ‘different world’, that often lacks understanding of our culture.
It’s a space to grow practical skills and cultural strength; where women can learn to communicate effectively in different settings without compromising their identity.
Many express feeling stuck between Blak and White society, rules, and ways of life.
We aim to create a space where Indigenous people who are heavily connected to traditional practices, and those who don’t know as much about their cultural heritage, feel safe enough to learn and to teach in the same environment; we all have valuable knowledge to share, and can always learn something from others.
Building Leaders - Learning, leading and listening are used to create new, positive, intergenerational cycles that benefit our land, community, and personal wellbeing. Relationships are built and fostered, so we can flourish together and become young role models in our communities and inspire other Aboriginal youth.
