Greg has lived and worked in the Kimberley region of Australia with a traditional Aboriginal elder and powerful maban (shaman), Lulu and the Goolarabooloo people. Lulu, concerned about the state of the world and threats to the continuity of all life, asked Greg to work on one book. During a 31-year process, Total Reset slowly emerged with original knowledge carried unbroken for thousands of generations. It reveals the First Peoples as the holders of holistic principles integral to our species’ design and ever capable of application; humanity’s original blueprint for living.
Total Reset honours Lulu’s wish for people to be able to look at our world through different lenses and in that light join together to reset how we are living on Earth, abandoning humanity’s 5,000-year trajectory of division and destruction in favour of holistic ways of being and doing. Come along to hear Greg talk about his book and enjoy light refreshments and the opportunity to purchase a signed copy of the book.
