Elder Djapirri Mununggirritj from North East Arnhem Land, Australia, is known for her wonderful commitment to community, her profound leadership in reconciliation across Australia and has travelled far and wide sharing her message with the world.

The fire within Djapirri continues to burn to share her wisdom, her story, her learnings and her culture. With a profound message to share - one of unity, growth and love - it is an absolute honour to be able to bring Djapirri to you.

During this time together we will ground in presence on the country we reside, in respect to our ancestors and we will go on an organic and evolving journey together which is sure to be woven with depth, wisdom and humour.

Our time together will be one of exploration into the oldest continuous culture on earth. We will allow the words of wisdom to ripple and engage our hearts, to heal us and to lead us. We will discuss how we can adopt ancient teachings in a modern world and how we take Djapirri's valuable lessons and embed in our day-to-day life.

We look forward to welcoming you. We look forward to seeing you. We look forward to finding a new friend in you.
