Dr Lilly Brown (Gumbaynggirr) and Genevieve Grieves (Worimi) were educators in the university sector for many years before they brought Shifting Ground to life.

Recognising the potential to deepen the impact of their teaching, they chose to channel their knowledge towards empowering organisations and individuals to rethink and strengthen their approaches to working with First Nations people, while also fostering ethical engagement and collaboration more broadly across all communities.

An Aboriginal-owned and women-led enterprise, Shifting Ground is designed to foster meaningful conversations that connect personal experience with systemic realities. We support organisations and individuals to engage with issues of culture and race by decolonising their consciousness, fostering the skills and understanding needed to begin the challenging conversations that are the seeds of systemic change.
