After Acknowledge – From Self to Country

You’ve found the confidence to deliver an Acknowledgement of Country.

Now what?

After Acknowledge – From Self to Country explores what happens once the words have been spoken. It invites participants to move beyond the acknowledgement itself and begin asking a deeper question:

How will Country recognise you?

Through storytelling, illustration and practical reflection, Rhys explores how genuine relationships with Country are built—not through perfect language or memorised scripts, but through curiosity, attention and practice. Together, participants unpack the fears that often keep us standing still and discover simple ways to begin weaving local Indigenous knowledge into everyday life and work.

Rather than offering another script, this keynote offers a direction.

Participants leave with:

• A deeper understanding of what it means to build a relationship with Country.

• Greater confidence to move beyond words into meaningful action.

• Practical ways to notice, learn from and engage with the place they live and work.

• A renewed perspective on acknowledgement as the beginning of a relationship, not the end of one.

Ideal for organisations that have already experienced Acknowledge This and are asking, “What’s next?”
