Welcome to the Story of Waking Up The Spirit

People talk about a time, long before white people arrived, when the ancestors of the Aboriginal people living today met to talk about the great wave that was to come.

They heard from the spirit of this land that told them...

‘This wave will come from the sea and sweep through the lands up to the mountains and the great rivers. It will come from distant places and will carry new life and new energy. But it will be a strong wave and initially out of control. This wave has been called in by the Dreaming to help create a new and extraordinary future.

The wave will bring many people from other places, people with much energy and many gifts. But these people will be ignorant of many things – of how to walk softly in this powerful land, how to act with deep compassion and integrity, and how to be quiet and careful around spirit that inhabits this land. In order to help these new people, the spirit of the land will go deep underground, so as not to harm them in their ignorance and clumsiness while they begin to learn from the Aboriginal people.

The people whose country is strongly swept by this wave will have to endure much. They are going to be the front line, holding on to culture and compassion in facing the wave.

The new peoples will have the task of learning from the oldest people on the planet about living in harmony with this land, and the planet, to live in stillness, quietness and balance.

Aboriginal people who live in the centre of the land will be able to hold on to the connection to spirit because the wave will only gently sweep through there, so far from the coast and spirit will not have to hide.

They will remember how to call forth the spirit of the land, and how to wake it up from its deep sleep. When some of the new people start to ask the question 'what do we need to know to live in harmony with land and each other?' Then the desert people will come forth and begin to wake up the spirit in the land.’

This is that time. It is happening now...
