Yila Healing Trail

Ignite healing and connection. Experience the transformative Yila Healing Trail bridging traditions for a united, healed community. Jump onto the the Yila Healing Trail- reintegrate and refresh your senses in deep nature with rich and experience immersive offerings throughout the Shoalhaven -all about healing you, our communities and this beautiful planet. The Yila Healing Trail will invite you to explore Berry to Jervis Bay, Kangaroo Valley to North Durras and drop into all that is on offer.

Commencing with our launch event on 5 May 2023 and culminating with the Yuin Healing Trail on 11-20 October 2024, we’ll be running many events that bring focus to the central role of Connecting to Country in the health of our communities. Each of these entwines First Nations traditions with Western approaches, bringing together the best of both ways of seeing, being and doing so we can move forward towards a healed nation with a shared future. Explore our website and watch our launch video where you can learn all about the story behind Summer Sky Wangalee Nganaparlee's beautiful artwork, which guides our journey.
