Acknowledgement of Country


Sovereignty was never ceded. No treaty was ever signed. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are the Traditional Custodians of the lands and waters on which this work is made, and that does not become less true with time, legislation or silence.

FREE 2B ME acknowledges Elders past, present and emerging. This body of work exists because systems cause harm when they ask people to become easier to accommodate. No community in this country has been asked to do that more often, or for longer, than First Nations peoples.

We hold that as a matter of practice, not sentiment.

What helps sustain me?

Your Body Is Not Another Job

Done with being told to breathe deeper, meditate harder and just calm down? This book swaps self-management for something better: finding what actually feeds you. The music, the movement, the people, the quiet, the ridiculous joys. Calm is welcome. It’s not the price of entry. This is a book about pleasure, aliveness and a body that gets to enjoy its life.
