Connecting to Country - Elevated Experience

For thousands of years First Nations People have cared for and managed these lands, carefully cultivating intricate and sophisticated knowledge systems based on the fundamental belief that we are connected to all things.

This overnight experience is specifically designed to elevate your camping experience with a guaranteed private camping spot. Spend time on Country with Traditional Owners and learn how to cultivate your own connection to Country.

Guided mindfulness activities include:

• Cultivating your connection to Country
• Guided 'listening to Country' bush walks

Participants will gain an increased awareness of Aboriginal People and culture and come away feeling welcome and safe on Country, connected to the land and empowered to take their friends and family camping. 

You'll also receive 20% off all Yilam On Country products!

Target audience: Experienced campers only.

Location: Yilam Connecting to Country experiences are located on the lands of the Taungurung People including the Seymour & Broadford areas
