Connecting To Country, A Practice For Everyone - Beaker Street Festival

Take a walk through the beautiful Waterworks nature reserve in the foothills of Kunanyi with Pakana activist and cultural practitioner Cody Gangell-Smith, alongside long-time biophiliac and wild food forager Westerly Isbaih. Learn about place-based traditional ecological knowledge held by Aboriginal peoples, and how modern science now appears to be echoing what First Nations folk practicing their culture have always known. Connecting to country, and paying attention to the land on which we live, is a direct doorway into the ancient dance of connectedness and inter-being that lives in all of us, even though modern life has resulted in many of us having forgotten how to access it. Our five senses are the primary portals through which we can build, develop, and experience a reciprocal relationship with the world around us — which has never been more urgent and necessary than it is right now. Join Cody and Westerly on a journey of re-acquaintance back to the land, and re-membering back to the interconnected web of life. This is a gentle, slow walking event in the cold of Winter, on a trail that is at times uneven. Good walking shoes, warm clothing and accessories (hat, gloves), and a water bottle are vital. This event is part of Beaker Street Festival 2026
