Grants on Sherbrooke mission statement

Bulen bulen healing and learning space

previously known as the bird feeding area

Vision:

The lyrebird dreaming story

How bulen bulen found many voices

In the dream time all the animals spoke the same language, they all lived happily often gathering for corrobborees

One day the mischievous crow started imitating all the animals, saying rude things about them, soon the platypus, koala, eagle and wombat were arguing, only the lyrebird did not join in.

The spirits were angry and to punish the animals they took away the language spoken by all animals and gave each a language of its own,

But the lyrebird who had tried to stop the fight, was given the power to speak to all of them.

The bird feeding area was the animals who were fighting now we hope the lyrebird story will bring everyone together to use the space for good.
