A Songline is a narrative and navigational pathway in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures that connects places, stories, and knowledge across the land. Often referred to as Dreaming tracks, songlines map the journeys of ancestral beings and are preserved through song, story, art, dance, and oral tradition. They hold vital information about the landscape, survival, cultural law, kinship, and the history of Country.
Songlines are not simply physical routes, they are living maps, carrying meaning, memory, identity, and spiritual connection from one generation to the next.
At ODNa Church, our Thursday Songline Reflections do not retell traditional Songlines. Instead, we honour the concept of journey, connection, creation, and meaning—using these themes to reflect on Scripture and the Christian walk in a respectful, humble way.
Key Aspects of Songlines
Navigational pathways:
Songlines traditionally guided people across vast distances. By singing the correct parts of the story, travellers could recall directions, landmarks, and routes, functioning like an oral GPS system.
Cultural and survival knowledge:
The songs encode deep understanding of the land: where to find water, food sources, seasonal patterns, animals, plants, and important social knowledge.
Connection to Country:
Songlines link specific geographical features to the journeys of ancestral beings. They express the belief that land, story, people, and spirituality are inseparably connected.
Oral tradition and memory:
Because they are sung, not written, songlines preserve cultural law and history in a way that is memorable, multi-layered, and lived through community.Continuing significance today:
Songlines remain honoured through ceremony, storytelling, and art. Modern expressions, including digital artworks and community projects, help preserve and celebrate these traditions.

About I-eum Worship | Connect Worship | 이음예배
In the context of ODNa Church, “I-eum” represents the "Spiritual Table" where we bridge the gap between our daily lives and God’s presence, connecting diverse hearts and voices into one abundant community of worship.
At ODNa Church, we believe that worship isn’t a performance to watch, but a "Spiritual Table" we set together. By linking our unique stories, diverse voices, and sincere hearts, we create a communal feast of praise. When we connect with one another in faith, our worship becomes more abundant, reminding us that we are never meant to walk or eat alone.
Don’t just watch the feast… Help us prepare it!
When you become a member of ODNa Church, you aren’t just joining a list, you’re taking your place at the table to help us shape the worship experience. Bring your unique "ingredient" and help us create a service that is truly ours.
