A little about Djapirri Mununggirritj
Djapirri is a senior knowledge holder and elder of the Gumatj clan from Yirrkala in North East Arnhem Land. For decades, she has worked tirelessly to support her community and was awarded Northern Territory Local Hero Award in 2011 for her efforts. Djapirri fosters strong relationships between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people together with non-Indigenous and gracefully dances in both the Indigenous and non-Indigenous worlds to share her passion for culture, connection, and wellness. An accomplished healer, speaker and artist, Djapirri sits on many boards across Australia in the education and political realm and is widely known both in Australia and overseas for her inspiring words of wisdom.
A little about Soulful Soundwaves
Soulful Soundwaves was founded by Maeve and Lorenzo Colombo back in 2016. With a clear vision to help others on their path to wellness, Maeve and Lorenzo have travelled all over Australia and overseas healing hearts and minds with simple and effective strategies that work. Many people have felt the healing potency Maeve and Lorenzo bring - one of truth, love and compassion. Maeve & Lorenzo currently reside on Yolŋu country, have been adopted into Gurruṯu (the Yolŋu kinship system) and have a burning desire to provide a platform for their Yolngu family to share their wisdom with the rest of the world. In collaboration with Djapirri, they now offer an opportunity to explore the ancient path to wellness (both in person and online) called Däwala.
