What Is A Colonised Mind with Ella Noah-Bancroft

Sometimes patterns present in identifiable habits - small and large. Sometimes patterns are written into the very fabric of our being; they have become a part of the way we view the world without us even realising we are looking through a filter.

In this episode we are looking at what has become known as colonised conditioning. A term coined by Native Americans to describe the way European systems function, often in direct contrast to natural systems, how this has impacted our ways of thinking about place and how this colonised way collided with existing Indigenous systems to the great detriment of not just Indigenous people but to everyone, through the disconnection with and destruction of the natural world.

But what does that really look like in the context of everyday life? What does it feel like in our bodies, how is it permeating our understanding of everything and how can the human mind be decolonised?

Ella Noah-Bancroft is an extraordinary Bundjalung writer, speaker, creator, advocate and activist for living more harmoniously with the natural world, she is a voice for returning to the old ways in a modern context and remembering how to collaborate instead of decimate.
