Enjoy a full day of Indigenous Culture, Knowledge, and Workshops for adults and kids throughout the day with @wearelivingculture

 10am: The day officially commences with a Smoking Ceremony and Acknowledgement of Country with Lionel Lauch, Gunditjmara Kirrae Wurrung-Bundjalung man.

11am: Yidaki Meditation and Yarn with Lionel. The yidaki produces deep rhythmic sounds, which Lionel uses specifically for healing practices. Senses are heightened and this allows for deep listening as the vibrations flow over and through your body, connecting you to the earth and creating a space for powerful healing to take place. This is also a great opportunity to learn from Lionel about Country.
