WugulOra means ‘One Mob’

By LUCEAT LUX VESTRA Tony Searl

The WugulOra Morning Ceremony is held at Barangaroo Reserve. 

Barangaroo is named after a Cammeraygal woman, who was a powerful leader of her people at the time of European colonisation. 

Her story is an important and empowering part of our shared history – not only for First Nations Australians, but for the entire nation.

As the sun rises on 26 January, we take the time to:
  • honour the traditional custodians of the land on which we gather, the Gadigal people of the Eora nation,
  • acknowledge our shared history,
  • listen to local elders,
  • witness the passing down of culture,
  • reflect on the strength and resilience of First Nations Australians.
Location: Walumil Lawns, Barangaroo Ave, Barangaroo NSW 2000, Australia

  Joy of Simplicity Our work is based on the shamanic belief that there are three planes of existence: the Upperworld, the Middleworld, and the Underworld. For too long we have focused on the Middleworld, or the physical plane and its materialistic and egocentric pursuits. (Profits and do whatever it takes, exploitative parasitic relationships with Self, Other and Nature, relentless projections of extractive capitalism, cult of personality and guru worship, cultural appropriation and racism, et al)  We’ve also focused too much on the Upperworld, or realm of Spirit, emphasizing the importance of attaining enlightenment, another ego projection sold in many cults and/or new age religions ("love and light" of spiritual bypass, "new cages" who ignore the dark shadow, any religion, system or belief that promises heaven or nirvana at a later stage providing you subscribe to their terms and conditions and fishbowl business model, right now!) but forgetting the importance of...

Knowledge of The Self.

By LUCEAT LUX VESTRA Tony Searl

Remember that a boundary is set with love. (LOVE not inauthentic fake niceness) It is never aggressive. It is never dramatic. It is never hurtful. In the experience that I had, I told my friend that this action she had taken meant that I had reached my tipping point and that given our conversation last year, it meant that this was the end of our friendship.   I don't hate her.  I don't resent her.  I don't wish her bad. In fact, I still have a deep love and appreciation towards her and genuinely desire for her business to flourish.  Ethically, morally, spiritually and with grounded integrity.  I just no longer have a space for her personal unethical choices and behaviours towards myself (and others, including staff and business partners) and the kind of standards and authentic connections that I'm committed to creating. So be very mindful, especially in difficult times, about how you allow others to treat you. What you tolerate continues, what you accept defines...
