Birri is a Birri Gubba word meaning river.
Rivers provide connection to spirit, culture, the land and to people.
Providing a place to gather, bathe, drink, eat, hunt and heal.
Rivers are vital to creation.
At Birri Beginnings, we come together to connect and to dream.
To learn what we need in order to create.
