Ep. 17 Ceremony for personal and cultural wellbeing with Arlene Mehan - Heart and Earth Ceremonies

Arlene of Heart and Earth Ceremonies is a first nations woman growing up on Biripai country with ceremony and symbolism. Having seen how ceremony creates powerful moments in time, Arly's vision is to bring more ceremony with meaning into the world so that sacred moments are adequately honoured, and people feel more connectedness and belonging.
