Deep Listening-Stories of Country is a podcast inspired by Dadirri (Deep Listening) practitioner and expert Dr Miriam-Rose Ungunmerr. The word, concept and spiritual practice that is dadirri (da-did-ee) comes from the Ngan’gikurunggurr and Ngen’giwumirri languages of the Aboriginal peoples of the Daly River region (Northern Territory, Australia). For more information, visit the Miriam Rose Foundation webpage.

‘Deep Listening’ is an inner, deep sense of quiet and still awareness that rests inside of us. The Deep Listening podcast follows those reflections that connect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people’s special respect for Nature and spiritual bond and profound care for Country.

In each episode of Deep Listening, Benjamin and Tracey, who both lecture at The University of Sydney, invite guests who share stories about themselves and their connections to Country in a generous spirit of truth-telling.

Here is some information about Tracey and Benjamin:
