  Creating a Nation That Is Fair for Us All 
  Cindy Mathers has experienced firsthand the impact of our traumatised, fragmented and broken systems on First Nations people, and indeed us all. She has been mentored by and worked collaboratively with First Nations people for over two decades, learning through respect, deep listening, and truth telling. 
  After repeated experiences of burnout, she began searching for solutions outside of current systems. Through personal and ancestral healing, extensive research, and study, she learned that the disrespect and disregard of human rights of the First Nations people at the time of colonization created wounds that remain in our collective psyche and are passed down through generations. 
  In DELVE-ing into Cultural Humility, Mathers shares a learning pathway forward, based on respect and deep listening. She created the DELVE formula as a collaborative way to implement change in our nation: 
  ●       Deconstruct—how did we get here as a nation? 
  ●       Explore—the impact of abuse of Human Rights on us all 
  ●       Listen—and learn, with deep presence to the stories of First Nations people 
  ●       Viable—what First Nations-led / collaborative initiatives are working? 
  ●       Energise—what works and fund community-led, place-based initiatives 
  In these pages, you will see a snapshot of what is possible when we engage the DELVE formula. By applying this pathway to her real-life projects and experiences, Mathers has created a succinct and practical resource for those who wish to learn Cultural Humility and become part of creating a new nation that respects the Human Rights of all.

  Roman Gods and Legends -...

  Mythology was at the heart of ancient Roman culture, shaping the way people understood the world, their history, and even their daily lives. Roman myths were more than just entertaining stories; they provided a framework for religious practices, reinforced social hierarchies, and legitimized political authority. From grand temples dedicated to Jupiter to household shrines honoring protective spirits, mythology was deeply embedded in Roman society. These myths explained the origins of Rome, the will of the gods, and the moral expectations placed upon its people.  
    
  One of the most fascinating aspects of Roman mythology is its connection to Greek mythology. The Romans borrowed heavily from the Greeks, adapting their gods, myths, and religious traditions to fit their own culture. Jupiter became the Roman equivalent of Zeus, Venus took the place of Aphrodite, and Neptune mirrored Poseidon. Yet, Roman mythology was not simply a copy of Greek traditions—it evolved to reflect Rome’s unique values, including its emphasis on duty, discipline, and the power of the state. Roman gods were deeply tied to civic life, with religious festivals and rituals reinforcing the unity and strength of the empire.  
    
  As Rome expanded, so did its pantheon. Over time, new deities were integrated from conquered cultures, blending native Italian, Etruscan, and foreign influences into Roman religious beliefs. This constant evolution reflected the empire’s adaptability and its ability to absorb and reshape traditions to maintain social cohesion. The role of mythology also shifted, particularly as emperors began to position themselves as semi-divine figures, further intertwining politics with religion. These myths were not just ancient relics but living traditions that reinforced Rome’s identity and dominance.
