Mulana Earth

Mulana meaning ‘Spirit’ in Yorta Yorta language. The concept of spirit earth refers to the deep spiritual connection we have with the land. It recognizes the Earth as a living entity with its own spirit and energy. This connection is rooted in the belief that the land is not just a physical place, but also a spiritual and ancestral homeland. We have a strong sense of respect and responsibility towards the land, nurturing and preserving it for future generations. It’s a vital part of our culture and identity.
