The Wandiny creative gathering of Indigenous and non-Indigenous poets, artists, Elders and participants across Australia actively sought to foreground First Nations voices, stories, poetry, art and ontology. This paper presents the auto-ethnographic reflections from the event organisers, demonstrating that participation in a gathering that honours Eldership and Country is a profoundly personal and spiritual experience. Following a call-and-response format, the event promoted deep listening and responsive writing contributed to a cultural sense of being and understanding.
