Brian Coghill

I am a First Nations cultural educator and guide from North Stradbroke Island. My knowledge is grounded in the teachings of my Dandruba Mooka Family ancestors, whose cultural authority continues to shape how I read, understand and care for Country. - Brian Moreton Coghill

Ara Mu
Permaculture. Kaitiaki (Caretaker). Guide. Mirimiri Healer
Ara Mu provides Glamping-Reset experiences in the Remote Paradise location on North Stradbroke Island, on First Nations country. She has been deeply involved in pioneering Human Potential initiatives for over 20 years in large organisations, community and eco-villages. Finding one’s inner true nature, through nature is a theme she uses with hosting, facilitating meditation-breath-activation, listening, and supporting people to find what they need. Her strong Maori-Mu as well as Celtic lineage gives her unique insights to Natures Wisdom and Cycles in practical ways including raising her family off-grid and experienced eco-villages in many countries. She knows that as people get away from the outer world and immerse in nature, the answers come and the wellbeing is restored. Experience her soft facilitation of whatever you need, tailored to each person as a ‘Whaea’, mother-aunty able to help you feel loved, held and seen. 1-3 days in the Space of Love she has created will truly restore you.
