Healing Holistically is a speculative project/conversation starter located in the Buchan caves reserve that aims to emphasize the need for the joint healing of both people and country.

Acknowledging the importance and legitimacy of Gunaikurnai customs, knowledge, and land management through the process of research and conversation while also leveraging existing documents such as the Gunaikurnai and Victorian government joint management plan, the proposal acts as point of connection, open and inclusive to all, with the sole intention of facilitating practices of joint healing. The healing of people, community, and land through means such as knowledge sharing, education, awareness, and respect.

Healing Holistically leverages the importance of looking past the final built proposal and also placing a priority on establishing processes of intangible forms of joint healing by making the most of existing means already in place.

This speculative project would ideally be engaged with as a document of suggestion, speculation, and process. Its intent is to bring awareness and start conversation which could ultimately lead to a different perspective and mindset.
