dadirri
DAH-dih-ree
Deep listening. Tuning into the earth's resonances — not just hearing but a quality of receptive, contemplative attention to the land and to silence itself.
Etymology
From an Australian Aboriginal language spoken by the Ngangiwumirr people of the Daly River region, Northern Territory. Brought to wider attention by Miriam-Rose Ungunmerr-Baumann, who describes it as "inner, deep listening and quiet, still awareness."
