DAREBIN SPIRITUAL HEALING TRAIL

with Trevor Gallagher

A guided walk to improve wellbeing through connection to the land, to others, and most importantly ourselves.

Sometimes activist self-care means focusing on our mind and building our resilience and capacity. Other times it's about being in our body, in nature, and tending to our emotional and spiritual wellbeing...

We invite activists, campaigners and anyone involved in social and environmental change work to join us in the beautiful surrounds of Darebin Parklands for a guided walk of the Spiritual Healing Trail with Aboriginal Elder Trevor Gallagher. The trail provides a space to gather, learn, heal, connect and reflect.

“As you enter Darebin Parklands, you are embarking on a spiritual journey, into the realm of nature and possibilities, as you walk toward the gum trees, let the leaves welcome and refresh you, allow them to relieve any stress, tension and division from your mind, to encourage you to focus on the reason for your visit...”

The Spiritual Healing Trail was designed by the Darebin Aboriginal Working Party and Uncle Reg Blow with support of the traditional custodians of the land, the Wurundjeri people. It is a gift from the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community as a gesture of reconciliation to promote good health and wellbeing.

This is the second session of Plan to Thrive’s monthly Activist Wellbeing Workshops. It will be led by local Elder Uncle Trevor, a cultural educator who is passionate about reconciliation and sharing Indigenous culture. Tickets are available on a sliding scale, with pay the rent spaces free, and no one turned away for lack of funds. Bookings essential through Eventbrite. You can visit plantothrive.net.au or our facebook event “Darebin Spiritual Healing Trail' for further info.
