Invitation to Desert Women's Business at Umutja, 25- 29 March 2011

 

I have had a number of inquiries via this blog for more information about the Women’s Business journeys I have taken to the Central Desert. I am now happy to be able to extend an invitation to these Desert Ceremonies here. I share a bit about my experiences with these ceremonies in a number of my posts: Women’s Business, Women’s Ceremony 1, Women’s Business, Women’s Ceremony 2 and Life as Ceremony. I will be posting a couple more soon.

 

HERE IS THE INVIATION

Nellie Patterson (in the photo) and the Pitjantjatjara elders in Central Australia invite you to share in the Women's Business at a very sacred healing area, Umutja, about 150 km from Uluru. This is a long drive on a desert track. Nellie and the women always get very excited as it gets closer to the time for the visiting women to arrive there. They truly enjoy meeting everyone and spending time on thier sacred land.

To register for this upcoming gathering at Umutja, please visit www.desertwomensbusiness.com. There you will also find several very helpful testimonies and stories about other women’s experiences with these ceremonies.
