Session 1
The Dreaming: Aboriginal Spirituality and Country

The Dreaming is a whole system of law and living. The Dreaming is past, present, and future. The Dreaming comes from the Creator and is passed from generation to generation to generation. The Dreaming is relevant today – it has much to teach us – all peoples of all cultures. Come together on Country and weave your story with the Creator’s story that is embedded in the landscape.

Session 2
Deep Listening: Connecting to Country

Country is not somewhere you go – it is every part of these lands now called Australia. Aboriginal peoples have been practising deep listening to Country for thousands of years. The Aboriginal cultural practice of deep listening means listening with ears, eyes, minds, hearts and whole beings. Come and learn how to tune in as we learn and practise deep listening on Country.

Session 3
Reconciliation: Heartbeats Healing Country

Reconciliation is the building of relationship between Aboriginal peoples, Torres Strait Islander peoples, and non-Indigenous peoples of all cultures in these lands now called Australia. This year’s #NRW theme is a reminder that no matter what, the fight for justice and the rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples must continue – for all of us.

Join us as your act of Reconciliation this National Reconciliation Week.
