Sit around Yarnbala’s unique campfire for an exclusive experience of sacred stories beneath the stars. For thousands of years, First Nations peoples across the world have maintained profound relationships with the stars, weaving their knowledge into stories, art, and ceremonies—passed down through generations. The stars are more than celestial bodies; they are ancestors, teachers, and guides, shaping cultural traditions and deepening connections to the land.
Wirangu woman Susan Betts shares her journey of discovery, exploring connections between her own culture and other First Nations cultures here and worldwide.
Traveling across the other side of the world, she investigated the Seven Sisters—the Pleiades star story—and uncovered a connection and purpose beyond anything she could have imagined.
Now, under the vast southern sky at Yarnbala, Susan invites you to sit by the fire and reconnect with the wisdom of the stars. Through storytelling and cultural insight, she shares these ancient stories, offering a rare opportunity to experience the knowledge and traditions passed down through generations.
