The guiding principles are an essential component of using the Yarning mats and observing these is a requirement for borrowing and using the kits.
Please familiarise yourself with the introductory video and the Cultural Guidance document below to ensure that your Yarning Circle will be conducted in a culturally appropriate manner.
