information

Embark on a sacred voyage through the heart of Nyangatjatjara land, just three hours west of Uluru. Here, amidst the timeless beauty of the desert, lies a place of profound significance—a land where the veil between worlds is thin, a land of sweet honey, a land where we are without excuse. Atop a gentle hill, beneath the sheltering embrace of a fig tree, rests a cave adorned with artworks crafted by generations of a family deeply rooted in this ancient soil.

Join Andrew and his Anangu brother on a spiritual odyssey unlike any other—a pilgrimage that will stir the depths of your soul. Immerse yourself in the richness of Nyangatjatjara culture as you journey alongside the traditional owners of this land. Listen intently as Anangu share firsthand accounts of the transformative power of encounters past—of the profound influence of Lutheranism, the resilience forged in the crucible of the homelands movement, and the stewardship fostered through the Indigenous Ranger program.

Experience the desert as never before, learning the age-old wisdom of survival passed down through millennia. This expedition is reserved for those who carry the light within their hearts—a pilgrimage where belief intertwines with discovery, and the word comes to life.
