Listening to the Land: Balcombe Creek

Logo, Mornington Peninusla Interfaith Network

‘Listening to the Land’ is an initiative of the Mornington Peninsula Interfaith Network to bring people from all religious and spiritual backgrounds together to connect, or reconnect with the Land and be moved to care for it.

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 it as an object instead of an integral part of ourselves.

‘Listening to the Land’ is an initiative of the Mornington Peninsula Interfaith Network to bring people from all religious and spiritual backgrounds together to connect, or reconnect with the Land and be moved to care for it.

Our Winter ‘Listening to the Land’ program will be held along Balcombe Creek in Mt Martha. The program includes an introductory talk, walking meditation and a shared lunch at The Briars Reserve. The walk and meditation will be led by Gunditjamara Elder, “Uncle” Lionel Lauch.

The walk will start from the mouth of the Balcombe Creek, near the bay, up to the Briars where we’ll have a meditation near the wetlands and lunch. A vehicle will carry our shared lunches from the meeting point at Balcombe Reserve. There’ll be car-pooling for those not wanting to walk back! Look forward to seeing you there – sunshine or rain.

BYO vegetarian food to share but plates and cups are provided. The cost is by donation. The meeting point is Balcombe Estuary Reserve on Saturday, 18 August from 11:00am. For more information contact Reverend Hans Christiansen 0406 243 783
