The Dreaming Path
Indigenous wisdom to live our best story

with Dr Paul Callaghan

Dr. Paul Callaghan, a member of the Worimi people from coastal Australia, spent years struggling to find a sense of meaning while living a Western lifestyle. Seeking change, he “went bush,” connecting with elders and learning Aboriginal traditions. Now, with over 20 years of experience as a healer and spiritual guide, Paul is eager to share the profound wisdom of his ancestors. 

In this empowering session, Paul introduces the Dreaming Path—a deep connection to the earth, universe, and the timeless wisdom that transcends the chaos of modern life. Expect transformative insights, practical tips, and inspiration to help you explore essential life questions and find your own path to healing and purpose. 

“A must-read guide for thriving in modern life that draws on more than 60,000 years of culture and wisdom. It’s humbling to be trusted with some of the sacred knowledge of First Nations peoples on this continent.'” – Osher Gunsberg
