Connect to Country with Jrumpinjinbah - Paul McLeod

Admire the beauty. Close your eyes, open your mind and feel into the essence of yourself as Country - beautiful Country, beautiful you.

This simple act of mutual reciprocity and healing with Mother Earth and all of her manifestations is the deepest connection you will ever experience.

You are warmly welcomed to join Jrumpinjinbah and family on Country at Wandianwanderian Murramurrang Tomikin within the Bherwerre Dreaming of the Booderee National Park.

Anyone who meets Jrumpinjinbah knows what a privilege and a pleasure it is to connect with him.

Jrumpinjinbah means “crow medicine” and he has traveled the world sharing cultural stories, dance, music and art, carrying huge cultural responsibility for his people. He works tirelessly for the healing of this country and this world and is passionate about deepening our sense of belonging through cultural exchange.

Jrumpinjinbah sits on numerous boards and is a strong advocate for the rights of First Nations peoples. He promotes awareness of traditional culture and works with local governments, traditional owners, elders, communities and other organisations to better understand, develop and strengthen cross-cultural relationships throughout the entire community.

Jrumpinjinbah says: “Our connection to our culture and country is fundamental to our wellbeing and extends from the past to shape our present and survey our future. We must ensure that we continue to keep our cultural heritage alive by passing our knowledge, arts, rituals and performances from one generation to another, speaking and teaching languages, protecting cultural materials, sacred and significant sites, and objects”.

While every individual and group encounter with Jrumpinjinbah may be different, the core principle will remain the same - we are all one and we have one Mother Earth worldwide.

Jrumpinjinbah reminds us that “We come into the world from a spiritual essence, we live in a flesh essence, and then we return to the spirit."

Walk with Jrumpinjinbah in a true act of belonging on Country in the same way that he and the Traditional Custodians of this land always have.
