Strengthening on-Country healing
Karen Reys knows the importance of healing and connection to Country. Her story carries the imprint of five generations of cultural interruption, and the responsibility she holds to restore cultural identity and belonging.
CEED Healing exists to create culturally grounded spaces where people can learn, heal and reconnect with culture, story and Country.
As a fifth-generation person removed from Country, with great-grandparents who were survivors of the Stolen Generations, Karen founded CEED Healing with support from her sisters, Sue and Jennifer. She carries a deep sense of responsibility to educate others and create culturally safe spaces where First Nations people are valued and respected.
With support from Community First Development, Karen and her team have strengthened CEED Healing’s long-term vision and foundations, helping the organisation continue creating safe spaces for learning, healing and cultural connection.
