Nardi Simpson's Talk for the Future

Nardi Simpson is a Yuwaalaraay author, storyteller and performer dedicated to the making and sharing of culture.  This week, we hear Nardi Simpson’s keynote address from the 2023 Mick Dark Talk For the Future. This episode takes listeners on an enchanting journey to understand how Yuwaalaraay ideas represent the spirit, natural order, and guiding principles of life and connection to the land. Through Nardi Simpson’s poetic prose and vivid imagery, we are guided through spiritual reflections on the inner self, the majestic grandeur of nature, and captivating tales of renewal, sacredness, and the duty to live in harmony with the land—stories of our ancestors who sought to leave a lasting, beautiful legacy for the world we live in. This is an invitation to reflect on our past, our present, and how we might all look to the future. Let the magic sink in.   Thank you to the Blue Mountain's Writers Festival The Mick Dark Talk for the Future is an annual keynote address on the environment that honours the legacy of Mick Dark, who in 1989 gifted Varuna, the National Writers’ House to the writers of Australia.
