Gulpa Ngawal — Indigenous Deep Listening
by Laura Brearley (Ed.)
2010 · RMIT University Press · 88 pages
In the Ngungikurungkurr language of the Daly River in the Northern Territory of Australia, the word for "Deep Listening" is Dadirri (Ungunmurr, 2009) and in the Yorta Yorta language of the Murray River in Victoria, it is Gulpa Ngawal. The closest we can get to describing it in English is deep and respectful listening which builds community. Deep listening draws on many senses beyond what is simply heard. It can take place in silence. Deep listening can be applied as a way of being together, as a research methodology and as a way of making a difference.
This book introduces you to the concept of Deep Listening in action. [Text Source: RMIT University Press]
