One Percent Program

So fun hosting this all-star group from Flinders Health and Medical Research Institute in Australia and hearing more about the great work they're doing with the One Percent Program. Hoping our paths cross again soon!

The Australian Sea Country Conference wrapped up at the end of last week! It was an incredible few days spent connecting with youth, sharing insights on important topics, and having meaningful conversations 🙌🏽 . Dante played a key role in facilitating the "Perspectives from Young People" panel Thursday, with many great experiences shared 💫 Looking forward to the next!

Saturday well spent✅ Yesterday, the crew gathered at the Grey Community Hall to honor World Suicide Prevention Day. It was a meaningful afternoon, raising awareness, and supporting one another through open conversations and community strength 👊🏼

Big shoutout to Astro Rodrigues for joining us for our session with AFLNT! He shared some incredible wisdom with the youth, breaking down the fundamentals of life and how to apply them both on and off the field 💥. The group had a blast with the activities, enjoyed the deep yarns, and really soaked in the mindfulness meditation to end the session. The energy was electric, and it was amazing to see how much they took away from the experience 🌟

The final session for the school term with the guys at @PathfindersNT wrapped up this weekend ✅. The energy was incredible, and we shared plenty of laughs with the young crew! 👊🏼A big thank you for having us-looking forward to seeing everyone next time! 🙌🏽

Another great weekend with LAUNCH Night Series Darwin ✅. We had an incredible turnout on Saturday night with the team at @pathfindersnt 🙌🏽. This time, we were thrilled to welcome two new members, Taleisha Kirk and Bronson Powell, to the 1% team to deliver a fun enjoyable session for the youth along side Jahdai Vigona Together, they led the participants through a series of dynamic activities filled with laughter and energy 👊🏼. The atmosphere was electric, and the engagement from everyone involved was inspiring. We’re excited to see the positive impact our growing team will continue to make 🖤💛❤️

We had an incredible session down at Lee Point with the boys from MITS, focusing on connection and team building 👏🏼. The highlight was an engaging activity led by Jahdai Vigona who guided the boys through a connection line designed to help them get to know each other better and strengthen their bonds 🌱. We also led the boys through many invigorating activities to boost their energy and teamwork. We were honored to have the WAKO Australian kickboxing team coach Astro Rodrigues and Dante Rodrigues lead the boys through various kickboxing techniques and teaching the fundamentals of this martial art 🥊 As always, we concluded with mindfulness meditation, focusing on box breathing to reset the mind and bring a sense of calm after the intense physical activity 🧘🏽♂️. The session wrapped up with a hearty meal and a yarn, giving everyone a chance to refuel and reflect on the day's experiences. It was a fantastic opportunity for the boys to build connections, learn new skills, and enjoy some quality time together🤙🏽 It was fantastic getting connecting and getting to know the boys through the session and we look forward to many more ❤️💛🖤
