A Ceremony Guided by Elders
David King (Dingo Darbo), a Gundungurra Traditional Owner, was taught the practice of Smoking Ceremony by Elders of his Country. Participants walk through the smoke as a symbolic act of cleansing the spirit, acknowledging transition, and preparing for the journey ahead.

Creating Meaningful Moments
Smoking Ceremonies bring depth and significance to gatherings — whether welcoming people to Country at corporate events, marking important milestones, or healing after community hardships. Every ceremony is tailored to honour the event and the people gathered.

Honouring Tradition, Supporting Events
David works closely with organisers to ensure the Smoking Ceremony is delivered with respect, cultural integrity, and sensitivity to the needs of the occasion. Ceremonies can be small and intimate, or part of larger public or corporate events.

Bring a meaningful and traditional start to your next event with a Smoking Ceremony. 📧 Email dingodarbo@gmail.com to enquire about a ceremony.

“David was able to teach us about the ongoing adaptive management of the Gedumba Swampland by tracing its origins back to a time when his family and the mobs of the region lived in deep connection with the landscape. For me, this would have been an incredibly emotional and challenging task. I’m sure David felt this challenge, yet the way he transformed stories of hardship and injustice into a story of progression and reconnection to Country was truly inspirational.”
