Mornington Peninsula Interfaith Network Presents
Listening to the Land: Balcombe Creek, Mount Martha (Saturday 18th August 2012)

The Land is Sacred. The Land inspires us. The Land’s beauty and majesty moves us in awe, wonder and reverence. Yet we often treat the Land as an object instead of an integral part of ourselves. ‘Listening to the Land’ is an initiative of the Mornington Peninsula Interfaith Network, seeking to bring people from all religious and spiritual backgrounds together to connect or reconnect with the Land and to be moved to care for the Land.

Our Winter ‘Listening to the Land’ programme will be held along Balcombe Creek in Mt Martha on Saturday 18th August, 2012. Programme begins at 11:00am and includes an introductory talk, walking meditation and a shared lunch at the Briars. In particular, we will walk from the mouth of the Balcombe Creek (near the bay) up to the Briars. We will then have a meditation near the wetlands in the Briars and have lunch there. Please note: A vehicle will carry our shared lunches from the meeting point (Balcombe Reserve) to the Briars. For those who do not wish to walk back from Briars to Balcombe Reserve after lunch, there will be car-pooling.

The walk and meditation will be led by Gunditjamara Elder, Uncle Lionel Lauch. Look forward to seeing you there – sunshine or rain.
