Background and Introduction Across Australia – Connecting Country Holding the Line … Australia Re-Creates wholeness ... with Fire and Water More than 10 years ago Aboriginal elder David Mowaljarlai initiated a line of energy from Sydney to the Kimberley. He said by energising this line it would heal the whole country. In 1997 I attended Bush University with Mowaljarlai, and met elders of the Kimberley, and understood more clearly what was meant by this. He died a few months later, leaving strong impressions with many people of the value of supporting the people, nature and spirit of the Kimberley for benefits to all Australians, and the increasingly interested global community. Like our human bodies, the earth has veins of energy flow that when blocked, create disease.Harmonising with nature and the powerful sacred sites and songlines across Australia clears blocked energies, for the enrichment of nature and the health, creativity and productivity of people. Aboriginal elder David Mowaljarlai’s Vision was to bring the Wandjina spirit of the Kimberley region to Sydney for the Olympic Games, to share Wandjina with the World .... Wandjina emerged in the opening ceremony as sacred ground was re-created through song and dance, and Cathy Freeman ignited the Olympic flame .. and the fire in our hearts. Fire cleanses the “dead wood” … and Water is the bringer of new life with the wet seasons of the Kimberley … both are necessary for the cyclical patterns of re-creation, and are powerful symbols of the coming together of opposites …the quickening move to re-conciliation (ie integrity and wholeness) in Australia and the world … The Rainbow Serpent is moving more freely now throughout the land …. and the songlines are humming up the energy from the deep south to the northern hemisphere … to lift Europe and the “old world” for the next Olympiad …. You are invited to connect, create and celebrate the adventure of your life, in this wise and ancient land …..Connect, Create and Celebrate Your Dream ….. on a Songline Safari ….
Testimonials Booking Application and Conditions Kimberley Connection ..... Re-Creation Experiences These Connecting Country Journeys are delivering people to share time and energy (even work if you choose) with people of the Kimberley to rebuild community, plus building relationships and energy of communities enroute - energising a songline Across Australia. The prime purpose of these journeys is to connect with ourselves, fellow travellers and communities, and share a grand vision of communities working with Nature and each other, for a future they want to live, and create. Eden Sanctuary Project ..... "Re-Creation" in the Kimberley The Ngarinyin, Worora and Wunambul are Wandjina people of the North West Kimberley area of Western Australia. They teach understanding and value of relationships - with self, land and others. They wish to share their wisdom and stories, and current realities with you. Some issues include – * Wandjina people want to be back on their land, not in Mowanjum reserve, and want to build new sharing relationships with people who care, and are interested in their wisdom, culture and creativity. * The Kimberley art and area has a sacredness of national and global significance. David Mowalgarlai's invitation of a delegation to Paris France to meet UNESCO in 1997 helped the recognition of this, and awareness of members of the global community, yet important issues in this area are ignored or avoided by our governments and others. * Lack of understanding or respect, and invasion of people, and tribal lands by mining, pastoral and other interests is ongoing. Some of Australia's oldest (maybe 176,000+ years old) and most extraordinary rock art and sacred areas are being lost by difficulty of access by custodians, theft, inappropriate scientific study, and abuse. * Eden Project .... Work Adventure Teams – Meetings in Sydney with Mowanjum Aboriginal community leaders who represent the 3 Wandjina groups, has inspired these leaders, and their enthusiasm is being shared with their community. Being on their land inspires and empowers the elders, the kids and the community - and enables them to reconnect with their identity. They have a new hope of returning to who they are. People can spend short periods in the Kimberley, working with local people on their land. Initially work envisaged is construction of basic shade shelters, water supplies, possible gardens etc .... to provide teaching places and basic food and facilities in these remote and challenging areas. Teams are co-ordinated by Excelink-Pacific and Connecting People & Planet Your contributions are invited. * Your Benefits from involvement with the Kimberley can be extraordinary and empowering. * Your interest and support for Wandjina people will enable a stronger community, stronger personal and national identities and re-creation of the spirit of your home, this land, and Earth.

A vibration - the origins of creation ..... many cultures including Aboriginal, Celtic and Indian say our World, the uni-verse (one-song) is "sung up" ie created by sound .... a song ... This includes our resonance or the vibes we choose in the moment or NOW time. As Tim Flannery (ex Australian of the Year) reminds us - We are the Weathermakers Dance ...... is an energy exchange in relationships between creative forces .... yin/yang, feminine/ masculine, right/left brain, art/science ..... dancing frees the body, and lets creative energy flow. Every moment or relationship is a "dance" of energy ... of moving creative electro-magnetic forces. Our journeys expand awareness of these subtle energies ... and we also aim to dance with the locals for a bit of fun. Call 02 8213 3225 |
