Be a part of this transformative event that celebrates diversity, fosters unity, and embraces the knowledge handed down through generations.
Yarnin Circle:
'Yarnin Circle' means 'to talk' and 'to talk' in Kaurna is Wangkanthi.
In the ancient tradition of Indigenous Australians, the Yarnin Circle is a sacred space for storytelling and sharing knowledge. Gather around the circle and be led through stories of their culture, history, and connection to the land.
Smoking Ceremony:
Experience the powerful Smoking Ceremony, a cleansing ritual that involves burning native plants, such as eucalyptus leaves, to release fragrant smoke. This sacred smoke is used to cleanse the participants and the space, purifying energies and inviting positive intentions. It is a profound way to acknowledge the land's spirits and the ancestors while seeking their guidance for the gathering.
