How to listen to spirit. |

How to make great things out of basic items (such as didgeridoos out of hollow logs) As westerners we seem to have lost the ability to produce great things with a hands on approach as a general whole. We could learn from the Aboriginals how to actually use our hands again to produce great things instead of relying on machines. |

As a westerner I don't know what I could learn from Aboriginal people but I would love an opportunity to chat with one and learn about their traditions and knowledge. I assume I could learn a lot about nature and spirituality. |

They could deepen their understanding about spiritual matters. They could also benefit from learning about what it is like to live without material crutches of modern life i.e. living with nature. However I realize a lot of this culture has been destroyed already as it has been here in Canada. |
