Wayapa Wuurrk wasn't a new phrase to me (I had heard of it during an online movement/ therapy course) - so I practically jumped for joy when I heard that LeeCouchwas going to offer this brilliant practice on a weekly basis in Bright.When I'm asked about Wayapa I usually say, "it's an earth, body, mind & spirit connection within a moving meditation"... but that barely begins to fully describe my experience in this class with Lee.It's a feeling. A knowing. Taking in the wisdom of our First Nations People. Connecting to Country. Breathing the breaths of our ancestors.Lee is a beautiful soul and I am eternally grateful to share space with her, to learn more about our indigenous people & their practices.... and in the process I also get to learn more about myself.I would highly recommend Wayapa & all that Lee has to offer to anyone interested in movement, meditation, nature, and connection to this earth.
