In this week’s episode, Caroline is joined by the founders of Bush to Bowl. Bush to Bowl is 100% Aboriginal owned, by Clarence Bruinsma, proud Yaegl man, and Adam Byrne, proud Garigal/Gadigal man. Bush To Bowl is a social enterprise aimed at creating a healing space & platform for First Nations people by connecting to Country and their traditional foodways. Where they practice culture, give back to Country, mob and the wider community.
In this eye opening yarn we learn about Adam and Clarence’s journeys, how they met and what led them together to create such an impactful enterprise. Having both grown up in the country and learning from a young age the beauty and power beneath each plant and tree, their mission is to create spaces where families and community members can engage with Australia’s native plants and traditional Aboriginal knowledge and culture, and provide a community for young mob to work and grow. We learn about the power and medicine of Native Plants. And the need to centre First Nations justice, in the fight for Climate Justice.
