Steps of Peace — Walk lightly, carry peace

The Steps of Peace program is an initiative that shares Dru’s work and programs, creates welcoming spaces where connection, creativity, and positive change can emerge, and brings people together — meeting new faces and reconnecting with dear friends across the Dru community. Walking has always been a way to connect — with the land, with one another, and with the truths that unite us. In the spirit of Indigenous and pilgrim traditions, Steps of Peace brings together blessings, stories, yoga, meditation, and meetings with people dedicated to peace and compassion. Each step is a chance to walk gently, honour the earth, and deepen our connections.

Saturday 10 January — Albury Walk - Wagirra/Yindyamarra Trail

1) Meet at Noreuil boat ramp

Meet at Noreuil to arrange a car pool to Wonga Wetlands for the start of the walk. If you would prefer to meet us at the wetlands themselves, or Kremur St Boat Ramp we can arrange to drop you back to collect your car after the walk.

Following the Wagirra walking trail through the wetlands and along the river to west Albury.

“Wagirra” is a Wiradjuri word that means to "step on the ground". What's more, the trail has been constructed by Albury's Wagirra Trail Project team, which is made up of members from the local First Nations community. It's a project that's given its participants the training, skills, experience and confidence they need to develop a career. For some, it's also been a life changing experience (https://www.parklands-alburywodonga.org.au/explore-your-parks/other-parks/wagirra-trail/)

9.30am-10.30am
