I am struggling to put my experience from Culture Camp into words. What I can say however is that as a settler-coloniser, the offering to learn from Indigenous folks is one which I accept with immense gratitude. During the camp Nidala reminded us that when she goes on Country with her dad she allows him to lead because of his experience, and that is what we must do also. We must allow Indigenous folks to lead us into a new and ancient time for humanity. One in which we are deeply connected to the earth, in a way that nourishes all beings. Culture Camp was one of the greatest blessings in my life thus far and I wish for everyone to experience this deep sense of connection and belonging - whilst also remembering the responsibility that comes with it.

Culture Camp

The Returning invites you back to Country for four nights and five days to return, learn, listen and heal.

Hidden at the base of Mount Wollumbin, we spend 5 days out on Country, connecting, resetting our nervous systems and building deep relationship with self, community and our more than human kin. 

This is a chance for our Indigenous and non-Indigenous brothers and sisters to sit around the fire, to listen and learn an to find their unified story. 

A real life experience at intergenerational community living with country. Surrounded by a beautiful river and acres to explore, this is a safe and trauma informed space to regain time with your self and Country. 

This program is in collaboration with East Coast cultural workers, facilitators and leaders, we come together to share our stories, teachings and being for the healing of our Country and each other from a First Nations Perspective .

Right now, the world needs healing. We can create healing through this offering by learning from each other's ways through diverse workshops focussing on Sustainable and slow arts, movement, reflection, decolonisation and exploration of self. 

The focus of all workshops is grounded upon healing, health, remembering, returning and actioning. 

Your investment contributes to providing scholarship positions for aspiring young Indigenous leaders and mentors in our local community to bridge privilege gaps that exist and provide for those who are in need.

The fire has been lit, now time to show up for yourself to finder deeper connect and respect for self, community and the land.
