For me to be sitting here, it's breathtaking, and healing. That's part of Dadirri. You've gotta slow down, and listen. You've gotta feel it. And you'd have a better understanding, and open heart. A spirit. Dadirri gives us the opportunity to be able to walk together in peace. We're all part of the story. Watch Miriam Rose's story on YouTube.

I'm a member of the stolen generation. I was taken, or removed from my family, and my country, at a young age. It was very hard to be taken to a city that I had no understanding of, and being completely separated from my siblings was, was very traumatic at the time. We're all part of the story. Watch Christine's story on YouTube.

Because 2020 was such a letdown, we've decided to hit the reset button. At RQI we're offering free individual memberships (Adult and Concession) for the first six months of 2021, just like we did last year. It's an instant replay!
