    Day Three

    A Celebration of Food, Country and Community

    Sunday gathers around the shared table. A celebration of the stories behind everything on our plates, the land, the people who tend it, and the communities built around it. Through the seasons, we’ll explore how nature and storytelling help us cultivate connection, identity, wellbeing and belonging.
