The mat has non-trip edges, grip nonslip backing and weighs 16kgs so it will not move around on the floor.  You can change the colours used in the design, send us an email with the changes and we will provide the artwork for approval with as many revisions as required. There is no additional charge for changes. See our colour chart - here.

Designed by Danielle Mate to reflect her love of the land, community, colour and bringing all elements together in harmony and the spirit of a yarning circle. This beautiful mat is a piece of art which will brighten any education space.

Yarning circles have been used across Indigenous communities for thousands of years and act as a conversational process for storytelling, sharing knowledge, safeguarding beliefs and culture, and finding the right ways to solve problems and criticisms without conflict, hostility, or blame.

In the school setting, the yarning circle is about students engaging collectively to share ideas, stories and passions. A yarning circle should be a safe space and may help to break down that teacher/student barrier that can exist. The creation of the circle changes the conversational dynamic between people. It can be a great way of encouraging your quieter students to speak up and share their voice.
