On Country. Kids. Connect

On Country. Kids. Connect is all about celebrating, learning and experiencing first hand our Indigenous culture on the banks of Kenton Creek, a tributary of Karrawirra Pari (River Torrens).  Four concurrent sessions will be held across the day, with the Welcome to Country and Smoking Ceremony beginning at 9.30am and Session 4 concluding at 1.45pm.

Each presenter will provide an opportunity for kids (of all ages) to immerse themselves in the experience of ancient and cultural ceremonies including making music with clapsticks and singing ancient story lines; participating in bush therapy and Ngardi Guwanda (deep listening), listening with more than our ears to connect to Country; learning through art about storylines and painting on boomerangs; and a chance to choose and prepare your own Bushtucker (and other) seedlings to take home and plant in your garden (20 plants).

First Nations Elders, Aunty Angelina Harradine-Buckskin from Claptsticks for Creation, Bianca Stawiarski from Warida Wholistic Wellness and Corey Turner from Southern Cultural Immersion will join together for this unique event in Gumeracha for one day during Nature Festival.  Don't miss the opportunity to enjoy a day learning about our Indigenous history and culture.

Tickets: $25 (Parents/caregivers of participating kids don't need to buy a ticket, but will need to supervise their own children at all times.)

This event is only possible with the funding support from Landcare Australia, Australian Home Heating Association and Adelaide Hills Council. The Upper River Torrens Landcare Group will provide volunteers to assist with the Sow to Grow sessions.
