As eel season arrives and creatures begin their ancient journeys downstream, we turn to stories of movement and change. In the Wurundjeri calendar, March coincides with Iuk - when eels migrate from freshwater to ocean, following an instinct older than memory. What calls you forward? What transformation awaits on the other side?
This month’s theme is... ✨MIGRATION ✨
Whether it’s a physical journey across continents, an inner shift between versions of yourself, or the delicate crossing between what was and what’s becoming … we want to read your tiny stories of transition, movement, and the courage it takes to follow the current.
