Flowing waters, healing light

There will also be weaving and bush medicine by Banatjarl Strongbala Wumin Grup, Water and Smoking Healing by Jawoyn Rangers, representation by Wandimen Elders (Binjari) and a release of healing lights and native flowers. September 9, Katherine Lower Level, 5pm-7pm. Everybody is welcome.
