Australian aboriginal spirituality
What is Australian Aboriginal Spirituality?
For over 65,000 years, Aboriginal peoples have lived on the Australian continent, developing rich and diverse spiritual traditions that are deeply linked to the land, ancestors, and the stories of the Dreamtime (also known as the Dreaming). Aboriginal spirituality is one of the deepest roots of spirituality in the world.
This spirituality is not a single religion but a combination of beliefs and practices unique to each Aboriginal nation – yet sharing a reverence for the interconnectedness of all living things, the sacredness of the land, and the spiritual presence of ancestral beings.
