Miss Cherry Bomb

Wangan and Jagalingou - Standing Our Ground

A man lights a fire for his people and helps to keep it burning for over 1067 days to inspire a community to stand up and fight for their homelands.

It only seems fitting that Uncle Adrian Burragubba wins the 2024 Brisbane NAIDOC "Keep the Fire burning" community award.

Congratulations! 🎊.

❤️💛🖤

The announcement has been made that the mining lease will not be extended and the process to get Jabiluka into world heritage and Kakadu National Park can begin. A big shout out to the Traditional Owners, the for standing strong for this for generations, and thousands of people around the country standing with them. 💛

PROTECT SACRED WATER NAIDOC UPDATE

If I'm wrong about needing these skills in the next couple of years, I'll be absolutely stoked!

But if I'm right and your fending off people trying to roll you for your baked beans and toilet paper outside your local Woolies, you might regret not learning some of the fundamental survival skills of our collective ancestors.

If I'm not your cup of tea, fair enough. There's other good survival courses out there and some great teachers.

If you'd rather be safe than sorry and start your journey of safe, sustainable and respectful foraging with a twist of prepping, community building and conservation, jump on my website to book a course now: jakecassarbushcraft.com

❤️ I love to dance
Solstice Blessings

Dance for the love.
Dance for the wound.
Dance for possibility.
Dance for hope.

Dance for those who cannot leave their seats
or those who won’t allow themselves
the gift of their own freedom.

Dance inside the circle
of your soul’s maddening joy
and twirl in the arc of wild abandon.

This world was made
to be free in,
so dance
while
you
still
can.

WILD @ HEART!
💛

Here’s to the wild, the weird and the wonderful.
To those who ride the waves on their own seas and lose sight of the shore. Who discard the rules, the labels and the chains that once bound them, in search of the truth of their heart. To the ones who are fueled by the authentic and the uncensored, no matter how gritty the taste at times.

Here’s to the mismatched puzzle pieces that don’t get invited to join in all the reindeer games; that get left behind in the dust to learn their own way to fly. Who in their sacred solitude grace the skies with wings of freedom and a destiny born of soul fire.

To the rare, unearthly beings who walk the road less traveled, taking the adventure that rises on this path with purpose and passion. Who are brought alive by the fire in their blood and the longing threaded through their being.

Here’s to the rebels, the heartsick originals, and the bittersweet loneliness that fuels their spirit. To the ones who won’t conform, back down or step aside. To the ones who were not born to fit in but to gloriously stand out. To those who are here to be midwives of the genuine.

To the tribe of troublemakers that think so far outside the box, they dream on the edges of the infinite. To those who dance even though they have no idea how; who stumble and make it part of the steps, sing completely off-key and totally out of tune.

To the ones who raise their voices to the heavens even though they don’t always know the words.

Here’s to the awakened ones whose purpose is to feed their soul and not starve it. Whose mantra is the drumbeat of their own heart and the brilliant possibility that looms on the horizon. To the ones who dare to be open, to feel, to love and to live.

Here’s to the magical, the mystical and the misunderstood. To the wise ones who move between the shadows and the light. To those who howl at the Full Moon and run naked in the flowing streams. To those who read the compass written on the walls of their hearts and follow the North Star etched upon their spirit.

Here’s to the fallen, the broken and the shattered. To the warriors who know that to be cracked is to let the light in deeper. Who know that the best fruit is on the very tip of the branch and the brightest jewels are hidden within the roughest of surfaces.

To the ones intoxicated by the burning of the winds of change in their lungs and who live in the lands that others fear to tread.

Here’s to the brightly colored patchwork of divine visionaries that won’t stand down, play small or sit out. To the stargazers, the storm-chasers and the Old Souls that walk this Earth.

Here’s to the wild ones. Here’s to you.

Sacred Rebel


(4) AGAINST THE GRAIN

You want humanity to relate to each other as equals and to recognise the sacredness in you and in the world around you.
You want to unleash the beauty that hides in even the ugliest of scenes and sentiments.

You are a radical dreamer, a sacred rebel, and you bring the light of a more positive future to this world.

The universe so loves you for your unusual take on things, for the quirkiness in you dares to honour that which is different and renders the impossible, possible.

You are someone who lives and breathes in the depths of creative waters. Lose yourself to the flow of music, nature, dreams, imagination and fantasy, through art and literature, meditation and dance and in the surrender to the sacred waters of the ocean, the river, the lake - or even the bathtub!
