Dreamtime
The Aboriginal people of Australia have a culture that goes back several thousand years, to the Dreamtime, which is in danger of being lost. "The Dreamtime is always and never, a time that never was and is always happening. It is the force that spiritually maintains the world and has to be constantly recreated through ritual, meditation, and prayer if the world, the clan and the self are to be renewed" (Jean Houston).
