Who hosted an authentic, mindful, and grounding Wayapa session for our guests in our springs. Kayla is adaptable and professional to work with.

Our Songlines is an accredited Wayapa Wuurk practitioner. Wayapa® is an earth connection practice that is based on ancient Indigenous wisdom that focuses on taking care of the Earth as the starting point for creating Earth Mind Body Spirit well-being.

Living in harmony with their environment is what sustained Australian Aboriginal people to be one of the world’s oldest, continuous living culture – for over 100,000 years!

Today, for most of us, we have become disconnected from our environment, from our tribe, from our food and from our Spirit. Through a combination of Earth mindfulness, narrative meditation, a series of physical movements and taking action to look after the planet, Wayapa® provides a sense of belonging to the Earth while creating holistic well-being.

Wayapa® is about creating a different lifestyle but for those just starting, it can be done as a 25 minute physical practice, sitting or standing, or as a narrative meditation to slow us right down to sit in the stillness of nature.

I absolutely love Wayapa! I’ve done a lot of mindfulness, meditation and yoga but I would have to say Wayapa is my favourite. I come away from every session feeling stretched and strengthened but also more grounded and connected to everything. It’s deceptively simple, journeying through seasons and moon cycles and all four elements. But it also gives an insight into the world’s most ancient and sophisticated environmental and community practices, something which feels like a sacred privilege. Kayla runs a beautiful class. She’s so friendly and welcoming, and open to everyone’s experience. She explains all of the concepts in a really accessible way and is always happy to answer questions. My eleven year old daughter attended a session and fell in love with it. This would be an amazing practice to do as a family too. Highly recommended!
