Weigelli Healing on Country 🌿🔥

This week, Weigelli residents and some of our staff were truly blessed to spend time together on an overnight camp — a journey of connection, healing, and culture.

We were very privileged to be welcomed onto the beautiful farm stay generously offered by GM Alley Coe from the Wiradjuri Condobolin Corporation. Our deepest thanks also go to Uncle Jimmy Nolan and Uncle Peter Harris, who joined us and guided the group with their wisdom and spirit.

Residents were welcomed to Country with a powerful Smoking Ceremony, marking the beginning of a truly meaningful experience. Around the fire, we shared beautiful curries cooked in camp ovens, Johnny cakes, and fried scones — food made with love and shared with laughter.

There were yarns, honesty, and healing, with residents opening up, being vulnerable, and finding strength in one another. The fire became a place of reflection, laughter, and truth — a reminder that recovery is not just about sobriety, but about freedom, culture, and connection.

Country, culture, and healing ground us all — reminding us who we are and where we come from. We walk proud, strong, and together, continuing the path our old people laid before us.

Weigelli would like to sincerely thank Craig at Datavoice Communications Cowra - Telstra Partner for your generous donation of 15 mobile phones, each with a $10 start-up credit.

This contribution makes a real difference. Having access to a phone helps the people we support stay connected with family, community, and vital support services. It also means they can be contacted quickly when needed, which is so important for their safety, wellbeing, and recovery journey.

We deeply appreciate their support, kindness and commitment in supporting our community.
