Help shape The Place of Courage – Ripples Across South Australia
Your support will fund Stage 1 of The Place of Courage at Tulya Wardli / Bonython Park, adjacent to the new Women’s and Children’s Hospital. This marks a pivotal milestone in our national movement to end domestic, family, and sexual violence.
At Spirit of Woman, we believe:
โจ Art breaks the silence within
โจ Stories shape strength
โจ Courage grows in community
โจ Turns silence into strength—and remembrance into resilience
Together, we make courage visible—and build a legacy of safety, dignity, and hope for future generations promoting respect, empathy and justice.
๐ง What Is The Place of Courage & Ripples Across South Australia?
The Place of Courage is the permanent central heartbeat in a growing, statewide network of public art healing spaces known as Ripples Across SA. These commemorative art installations offer:
๐ฃ Healing through reflection and responsibility
๐ฃ Spaces where stories are honoured
๐ฃ School education spaces to learn about respectful relationships
๐ฃ Public art exhibitions
๐ฃ Community hub for ChangeMakers
๐ฃ Public commitments to change
Each Ripple is inspired by The Place of Courage and helps break the silence around violence, raise awareness, and strengthen community connection.
