Marrukakilikan – Thriving Back On Country

Marrukakilikan– one who is in a state of wellbeing, happiness, or one who is patient if in adversity. In my mother’s language, Gringai of the Hunter Valley.

After over 150 years of our families living in cities or towns since invasion, we want to grow our kids up on their ancestral land. We know the negative affects of western diet and lifestyle are creating cycles of suffering and have experience a huge amount of grief and loss because of this. We want better for our kids, we want them to know what being healthy is and we want them to learn how to break the cycles that plague our communities.

Even current  research  clearly shows living on country, eating a traditional diet and practising your culture improves wellbeing

Coming from Redfern, inner city Sydney and surviving all sorts of adversity ourselves, we hope by creating videos of our journey we’ll show other city dwelling mob that its still possible to go back to the old ways. If I can do it anyone can.

We would like to teach our children how to live a long happy life, as free of the worries of the western world as possible. To create a space where we can revive our old ways n thrive again as we did before the boats came. By 2022 we hope to set up bush school where they learn to grow, hunt n heal as well as the basics in bushcrafts.

Decolonise Your Diet (docuseries by Kaiyu and son Tiga Bayles Jnr)

The family have been very blessed to meet and learn from some special people, Dr Archie Kalerkerinos was Kaiyu’s GP as a baby and had a huge influence on our family for decades. We learnt NLP back in the 80’s from the Australian pioneer Neville Yomans, we have experienced the long lasting and life changing effects of using holotropic breathwork and Quantum bioresonance. With mum being one of the first First Nation Naturopaths in Australia, we have been raised using natural medicines and have kept up to date with alot of the latest natural breakthrough products and modalities. We do not give health advice, just sharing what we know works best for us after 40 years of relying on natural medicines
