The sacred stream (riyala) of life - an evening in conversation with Yolngu Elder Djapirri Mununggirritj

Within us is a deep connection where the water inside of us connects us with the ancient waters of life. We are a sacred stream that leads to a larger sacred river where the ancient wisdom flows and where all waters of life converge.

Through the ancient Yolngu teaching of Djambatj Manapanmirri (coming together), we will learn just how the waters of life are connected. We will learn how no matter your culture or background, the ancient waters of life are leading you.

Join us for a soul nourishing evening in conversation with Elder Djapirri Mununggirritj. We will journey together into ancient heart wisdom as we all tend to the stream of Self and embrace each other as new friends as we sit in circle and ceremony together.

Through discovering and understanding what the wonderful metaphor of Djambatj Manapanmirri (coming together) can teach us, we will collectively sit at the sacred stream of the heart and listen to ancient wisdom and stories untold.

Through this empowering and inspiring conversation we will together embrace the sacred stream within each of us.

Come join us.

When: Wednesday 28 June @ 6.30pm (Darwin time)/ 7pm Qld/Syd time

Where: Online via Zoom (recording will also be sent post session if you can't join us live) 

A little about Djapirri Mununggirritj

Djapirri is a senior knowledge holder and elder of the Gumatj clan from Yirrkala in North East Arnhem Land. For decades, she has worked tirelessly to support her community and was awarded Northern Territory Local Hero Award in 2011 for her efforts. Djapirri fosters strong relationships between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people together with non-Indigenous and gracefully dances in both the Indigenous and non-Indigenous worlds to share her passion for culture, connection, and wellness. An accomplished healer, speaker and artist, Djapirri sits on many boards across Australia in the education and political realm and is widely known both in Australia and overseas for her inspiring words of wisdom. 

A little about Soulful Soundwaves

Soulful Soundwaves was founded by Maeve and Lorenzo Colombo back in 2016. With a clear vision to help others on their path to wellness, Maeve and Lorenzo have travelled all over Australia and overseas healing hearts and minds with simple and effective strategies that work. Many people have felt the healing potency Maeve and Lorenzo bring - one of truth, love and compassion. Maeve & Lorenzo currently reside on Yolŋu country, have been adopted into Gurruṯu (the Yolŋu kinship system) and have a burning desire to provide a platform for their Yolngu family to share their wisdom with the rest of the world. In collaboration with Djapirri, they now offer an opportunity to explore the ancient path to wellness (both in person and online) called Däwala.
