Yarning Circle
Language/Meaning: While not a direct traditional word, this name uses cultural language in a respectful way. “Yarn” refers to storytelling and connection in Aboriginal culture, and “Circle” speaks to community, gathering, and shared identity.
Description:
“Yarning Circle” speaks to the sacred spaces where our stories are shared, where laughter, wisdom, and connection ripple through generations. Crafted on warm tan wood, the white meeting place at the centre honours Country—where we come together as one. The surrounding dots form a circle representing our people: each one a spirit, a story, a soul that belongs. This piece reminds us that we are never alone; we’re held by community, culture, and the stories that shaped us.”
