A Rising Tide Lifts All Boats
Our region is filled with incredible individuals who have devoted their lives to fascinating crafts. A Rising Tide was created to bring these people together and foster real-life connections that propel our community forward.
Put your phones down for the night and be part of an experience that will shift perspectives and spark action long after the lights go down.
Meet our speakers:
Our Host
Dr Carla Pascoe Leahy
Oral historian, author, and academic. Her work sits in the spaces between human memory, oral testimony, and unvarnished history.
Our Panel
Miek Paulus
Founder and CEO at Ket Baker. Miek has built a reputation on the Bellarine for an absolute refusal to shortcut process. Her work demands total submission to time and chemistry. Miek brings a perspective on the relentless physical discipline required to scale an artisan craft without compromising the product.
Kirsten Roberts
Contemporary artist and designer. Following a severe medical episode that required deep neurological recovery, Kirsten turned away from commercial business to commit entirely to fine art. Her practice is an ongoing study in cognitive resilience, creative rigour, and pushing boundaries. She speaks to the grit required to construct a practice around pure artistic vision when certainty is stripped away.
James Murphy
Mariner, ocean conservationist, and owner of Sea All Dolphin Swims and SOEL. James built a legacy marine stewardship venture around a simple premise: rejecting traditional office work and trusting gut instinct.
