S6, Ep 1 - Why we need to decolonise our minds - Ella Noah Bancroft

Season 6 of The She Births Show focuses on The Rise Of The Feminine.

Listen in to Indigenous activist Ella Noah Bancroft in conversation with She Births Founder Nadine Richardson on why we need to decolonise our minds.

An enlightening and inspiring conversation on claiming sovereignty and honouring Indigenous wisdom for a return to feminine power and healing.

Ella Noah Bancroft is a Waalubal woman. She is a descendant of the Bundjalung peoples of Northern NSW, and also has blood lines to Scotland and England. She is a Connection Therapist, Mentor, activist and creative carbon neutral event coordinator.

She is passionate about rewilding the world and the feminine force.

Ella runs amazing events like The Returning and Culture Camp and has been working deeply with others at Koori Mail in Lismore since the floods took place earlier this year. They were also recently given the NAIDOC Innovation Award for their leadership and grassroots community work.

Ella recently released a beautiful new children's book with her mum, titled Sun and Moon.

In this episode we chat about:

• What the Rise of the Feminine means to her
• How sovereignty and spirituality go hand in hand
• How we decolonise our minds on a personal and broader level and even in our relationships
• The current state of politics in Australia and the 11 Indigenous members sitting in parliament right now
• How listening and truth telling are a teaching for all of us in building healthy relationships and healing
• What has been happening in Lismore and the power of an Indigenous intergenerational led recovery
• And so much more...

We hope you enjoy today’s conversation.
