Cultural Education
I invite you to walk Country with me. Come reflect on our shared histories and support my journey of self-determination through truth and reconciliation. Book your place for cultural education at Kanyanyapilla and beyond. Event proceeds support Kanyanyapilla’s cultural, ecological, and spiritual renewal.
Cultural Education at Kanyanyapilla
Coming Home to Country
Country holds deep memory and song from ancient time. Come walk with me, Burka-Senior Man Karl Winda Telfer, to listen to what cultural and spiritual renewal of Country means for a Traditional Owner at Kanyanyapilla.
Cultural Practices and Artefacts
Come sit on Country as I tell story about artefacts and the cultural practices of my ancestors. Hold ancient stone tools, feel the skins used by the Old People, and learn about other tools, weapons, and seasonal practices.
