Dadirri, an Aboriginal concept, can be defined as, “deep inner listening or tuning in to deeply understand the beauty of nature.” The students in Year 2/3/4 have had the opportunity to experience Dadirri as part of their Religious Education program this term. The students were asked to find a space and then they were invited to be still and listen. They were encouraged to let something find them, such as a leaf, the wind, a bird calling, an ant walking by or the colours of the sky. The students were then asked to reflect on their experience using their prayer journals. Some of their journal entries have been included here. 

It is wonderful to be able to provide the students with opportunities to experience the beauty and sacredness of nature from a variety of perspectives and beliefs.
