Facilitation

Karabena Consulting facilitates the conversations that are hardest to hold well.

Professor Kerry Arabena and our team design and lead forums, planning days, board sessions, roundtables and cultural learning for governments, health services, Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations, specialist medical colleges, philanthropy and industry. We work as Master of Ceremonies, as facilitator, and as designer of the process itself, from a two day statewide gathering on Country to a single board conversation about Treaty.

Every session rests on cultural protocols agreed with the people in the room, so that hard truths can be spoken safely and turned into clear priorities for action. Traditional Owners, Elders, lived experience advocates, executives and directors are each given the time and the standing the conversation requires.

The work below shows where we have done it.
