Juice and Tea - Ngurra-kurlu in Melbourne

Added by University of Divinity

Professor Wanta Jampijinpa Pawu, Warlpiri elder and director of the Milpirri Festival visits Melbourne and teaches about ngurra-kurlu (home-having) using the metaphor of tea and juice. What does it mean to carry your home within you?
Ngurra-kurlu is a pattern for relationships that Wanta has utilised in his teaching and research. It is a relational compass that helps us navigate life, understanding our place and purpose among others. Warlpiri ceremonies teach about ngurra-kurlu and shape community as an interactive, interdependent palka (body).
