Eshua (Matthew Bolton) is from the Murruwarri tribe from New South Wales in Australia.
Eshua was born into a devastated culture. Aboriginal culture and language was outlawed in Australia until as recently as 1967, Eshua's ancestors were banished from sharing their stories, their culture, their truths, songs and their powerful dances with their children. Fear of having their children stolen made Eshua's grandmother, and many others, forbid those who could teach, from carrying at least 60,000 years of dreaming into the future.
As a child, Eshua's family told him of the generations of trauma, stories of massacres and of children being taken from country and from family, never to be seen again. The river that was the center of his family's life is now poisoned from the carp and agriculture particularly cotton farming. After many years of being lost in addiction and alcohol, this story is about how Eshua found his Spirit and a New Dreaming. Eshua's life is a testimony to the power of healing.
The healing he brings, through music, his words and his calm presence reconnects us to all Creation reminding us that all Creation shares a great consciousness. Together we can dream humanity into balance with Mother Earth and each other – living together with honour in unity, we can combine the Ancient Wisdom of his culture and modern technology to create a sustainable rich culture.
Eshua is a powerful and gentle young man who is passionate about life, the Spirit of the Land, and the unity of humanity for the preservation of all life on Mother Earth.
He also has Irish, English, Scottish and Welsh ancestry and is excited to be here in Europe for the first time bringing the messages of his people to this you. |
