***ABOUT OUR FACILITATORS***

10am - 12pm Body Yoga Poetry with Lara Zilibowitz

Join yoga teacher and art therapist Lara Zilibowitz for a liberating movement meditation journey, dropping into the rhythm of the heart that moves the body first and the mind second.

You'll be invited to slow dance with every breath, and massage yourself with intentional movement, to reconnect with your sensual and essence-full self, allowing you to find passion, aliveness and authenticity through this inspired yoga practice.

This heartfull session is open to all levels of practitioner, with the emphasis on receiving your own riches and remembering the innate majesty and intelligence your body holds.

She is founder of the Body Poetry Yoga School, and the visionary creator of Art of Being Retreats. Lara travels the world curating life-changing events and trainings, sharing her passion for the intrinsic wisdom of the body and genius of the soul.

1 - 3pm Dadirri - the Art of Deep Listening, with Ash Dargan, followed by Sound Healing with Yidaki

Ash will present a workshop on Deep Listening (Dadirri), an Aboriginal cultural practice of maintaining connectedness to the spirits of country, our ancestors, and our internal worlds. It is perhaps the worlds oldest known ongoing practice of mindfulness.

Miriam Rose Baumann, a Ngangikurungkurr senior elder from the Daly River region NT brought Dadirri to National attention in 1988. In her words, “When I experience Dadirri, I am made whole again. I can sit on the river bank or walk through the trees, I can find my

peace in this silent awareness… there is no need for words”.

Ash has spent years working with Aunty Miriam in both research and community focused education. Ash holds a Master of Indigenous Studies from Southern Cross University following the work of Dr. Judy Atkinson’s research and practice in trauma recovery, healing and social and emotional wellbeing. He is a senior national facilitator for We Al-li, a First Nations owned and operated organisation delivering training on culturally informed

therapeutic approaches to community health wellbeing across Australia.

4pm - 5.30pm Vocal Body Jam, with Murray Kyle

Murray Kyle - Vocal Body Jamm Workshop

Join sacred song carrier Murray Kyle for this journey of expression using voice, body percussion, sounding and movement.

Together we will dive into the playfulness and the prayer of the human voice, as a bridge to all of life.

Discovering connectivity through our collective sound and song, using the most ancient instrument that we carry within.

We will play with harmonics, full body listening, vocal interpretation, toning, & collaborating with the great mystery.

No musical experience is needed to join, just a curious heart to work with the energy of the moment and open to the discovery of how sound can be a powerful friend and ally.

7pm Community Winter Solstice Ritual

As darkness settles, we come together to light candles and join our voices together in song to as many traditional cultures and societies have done for thousands of years.

7.30 - 9pm A Night of Heart Song, with Amir Paiss and special guests

Nothing beats the profound yet simple joy of singing together for bridging cultures and uniting as one. Amir Paiss, world renowned musician and facilitatoir of connection through music song and self inquiry - together with special guests, will lead us in singing songs from different traditions.
