In the Circle of Life — Film Highlight ✨ Joe Williams speaks about living between two worlds—the inherited weight of colonization and the enduring pull of culture. As a proud Wiradjuri/Wolgalu man, Joe reflects on what it means to navigate modern systems while carrying ancestral memory, and how disconnection from the past can leave people unmoored from their future. Joe shares that learning the truth of where we come from is not about getting stuck in history—it’s about gaining direction. The past, he reminds us, holds teachings that help us choose differently, live more fully, and guide the generations coming after us. Without that grounding, the future has no compass. His words carry the authority of lived experience—of moving through elite sport, mental health struggles, and recovery—and land as an invitation to remember: we cannot build a future we trust unless we are willing to learn from what shaped us. ✨ Experience Joe’s full story in In the Circle of Life Join us for the Virtual Film Premiere + 5-Day Online Gathering with Wisdom Keepers from the film 🗓️ January 20–24, 2026 Registration link in bio as well as theeternalsong.org/Circle/ #InTheCircleOfLife #JoeWilliams #FirstNationsWisdom #Songlines #MentalHealth #IntergenerationalHealing #WeBelong #FilmPremiere #CulturalContinuity #tes #itcol
