For the Love of the Land

Reweaving connection to the earth, our ancestors and each other

You feel this world deeply, the beauty and the pain of it

The loss of the forests, the oceans, the world as we know it, along with the increasing pressures of daily life, with work, family, and relationships.

It's too easy to lose ourselves amongst it all

You're told that your anxiety and distress are personal issues, failings even. Yet we were never meant to carry this alone.

We've lost the ways that nourish us

We no longer live in harmony with the earth. The celebrations of who we are and what we bring to our communities have mostly disappeared from our early years. The wisdom of the ancestors to call on in hard times, rarely felt.

For the Love of the Land is an eight week journey back into connection, with our hearts, the land, and our wise ancestors.

It's about coming home to yourself, nourished and supported, so that you can keep showing up for what you love.

The Spiral of Return

Each week we cycle through the elements and the natural landscapes of the earth in what I have named, The Spiral of Return.

Fire

Ignition, the flame of love and compassion

To start the journey we need to acknowledge where we are. We start with heart nourishment, compassion and courage to face the truth.

Air and Mountains

Crystallization and dissolution. Clear vision.

We explore our thoughts, beliefs and attitudes. On the mountain, the air reveals it all, bringing clarity. We can more clearly see what is really true for us, and what is inherited from our cultures and our families.

Water and Rivers

Emotions and feeling, allowing the flow

It’s through our awakened feeling that we connect with nature, with our non-human kin, and with other humans. As we expand our sphere of relationships we return to belonging.

Earth and Forests

Ancestors and healing, respectful relationships

We connect with the earth, and with our wise ancestors. So many of us have lost these connections, ones that were once so natural to us. Our wise ancestors hold the key to our belonging; they guide us, call us to be our best selves, and help us find our way back into connection.

Spirit and Ocean

Return to source, to our oneness

This is where it all comes together. We consider where we started and where we are now, and what is next for us. What we have learned and how we move forward into our lives now, with our new connections and insights.

Returning once again to the spiral of fire, air, water, earth and ocean, as we continue around the Spiral of Return bringing the depth of connection and wisdom we have gained into our life and work.

Stories from previous participants

Mike Hughes

Thank you for a really wonderful course. I came into it feeling like this was a last throw of the dice to try and find some personal peace.

I am so much more positive right now, and feeling more grounded and connected to Earth in general.

My inner voice and intuition is getting louder and stronger all the time. The more I listen to it the more grounded I feel.

Victoria Walker

I loved it all! I loved the three threads – earth connection, ancestry and Indigenous awareness / connection. I loved how none of it felt laboured, because we danced through these three topics.

I found It very soothing, grounding, nourishing. It felt like a soft landing place, a kind place. Lure is very good at creating a safe space where you feel able to say what you want to, but remain really mindful of the impact of your words.

About Lure

Hi, my name is Lure Wishes.

I was born on Dhunghutti Country on the mid-north coast of New South Wales in Australia, a town with a large Aboriginal population, and am of mostly Irish ancestry.

I've had a calling to the land and to healing for many years, and to nature for my whole life. I've lived and worked with Aboriginal people throughout Australia, and in particular in central Australia and the Kimberley in the far north-west of Western Australia.

I’m deeply grateful for the kindness, generosity and welcome I have received from Aboriginal people along the way.

This work is the culmination of a lifetime of work and experiences, of the ways we can reweave our connection with all of life, to meet the challenges so abundant in our world today.

My training is in education, transpersonal counseling, breathwork, and heart and energy work. My experience includes wilderness guiding, adult and youth education, Aboriginal education, community development, project management and tourism.

I pay my respects to the Darug and Gundungurra people on the land on which I live, and acknowledge the Elders, past, present and emerging.

Session dates and times

Emma, Queensland

I found each circle a great blessing and found my heart uplifted each time I attended. Lure has a gift for holding space; for allowing grief but also helping us find our way back to joy. I found the space supportive, safe, and enlivening.
Emma took part in courses that led to the the creation of this course.

Holly, Tasmania

I feel loved, beautiful, strong and powerful and I am now able to put myself out into the world with a head held high.

I can’t recommend this program enough. The changes I experienced are quite profound, and were noticed by close friends and family.

I was able to take control of my anxiety and instead of letting it hinder my life, I was able to start doing the things I truly wanted to, such as going out with friends, joining new social groups and stepping up into my roles at work. I also became more focused on the present and my future as opposed to dwelling on the past.

Wild Heart Program

Mauria, Tasmania

I would absolutely recommend this program to others. As a result of doing this program my life has already completely changed beyond anything I could imagine. It is still changing in a really positive way. I feel as though I’ve started living again.

The best thing right now is what is happening with my marriage. When I started the program we were really struggling; now it’s as though any issues that we had have disappeared. My husband and I have completely reconnected.

I really don’t understand what changed or how but things are fixed and it is so wonderful.

Accessibility

I want this course to be as accessible as possible, and acknowledge that I am still learning how to do this. If you have any needs that will make this more possible for you, practically or financially, please let me know. I'm happy to jump on a call with you if you'd prefer to connect that way.
