We’d love to hear from you, get in touch.
Dear Jaeden, Thank you for your visit. It was really refreshing to have such a different and real, perspective and workshop, to what we usually have. I found many truths, and had many realisations during your talk. The world needs more of people like you so keep preaching.
I loved how comfortable you are with who you are, and how comfortable you were with us, it made a very safe environment, and I loved how you explained your concepts. Very easy, simple to understand, and yet you convey the big picture very clearly.
People in the world need the raw versions of humanity. Everyone is so used to the people around them having all these guards and walls up, it’s so important to have someone get through to people and speak the truth, and that is the experience I felt I had with you.
Hope to see you talk at our school and in the community more in the future, thanks so much again.

We had such an awesome learning experience with Jaeden. Jaeden managed to connect with a whole cohort of lively year 7 students and keep them interested and engaged throughout the whole session teaching boonwurrung words, intriguing cultural knowledge and also sharing his own life story of growing up, giving the students insight in how to develop the positive behaviours of humbleness, wellbeing and insight. Jaeden taught with such respect, passion and humor and also made the teaching relevant by helping students connect to country and make them aware of the importance of looking after themselves, each other and the environment. My wish is that this is the beginning of a beautiful partnership with Jaeden.
