Murray River (Dhungala) paddle with Artist in Residence - Wurundjeri woman Georgia MacGuire

15 - 19 January, 2026

A 5-day regenerative journey with Dhungala / Murray River and artist in residence, Wurundjeri woman, Georgia MacGuire, whose heart beats for “Community, Culture and Country.” Georgia's art serves as a bridge, connecting her to others and sharing her unique perspective as a First Nations woman in what is now known as Australia.

This journey is one of reconnection —a deliberate return to our intrinsic place within nature's living systems. As paddles cut through water, rhythmically tracing the river's ancient path, participants begin to shed the illusion of separation, recognising humanity not as an observer, but as an integral thread in the ecosystem's complex weave.

The journey unfolds like a conversation with the landscape, each bend of the river revealing layers of interconnection - the water itself as storyteller. Paddlers learn to listen—not just with ears, but with their entire being—to the subtle languages of water, wind, and wildlife.

Nights under open skies become an opportunity for a profound communion with the environment. The boundary between self and landscape blurs, as the sounds of rustling leaves, distant bird calls, and the river's gentle movement weave a complex tapestry of belonging. Each moment becomes an invitation to step beyond human-centric perspectives and recognize the intricate web of life that sustains and surrounds us.

This is not simply a journey across kilometers, but a passage through understanding—a slow, deliberate pilgrimage that allows participants to rediscover their fundamental connection to the natural world, each other and themselves.
