4 Pachamama CIC
Collective Wellbeing for Planet & People
4 Pachamama CIC is the home of Wayapa Wuurrk® on our continent. It means Connect to the Earth in the languages of the First Australians. Wayapa is an internationally accredited EARTH, MIND, BODY, SPIRIT Wellness modality. It is intergenerational and available to anyone of any age to their ability through Mindfulness or Movement (seated or standing). It is holistic and inclusive. It offers the opportunity of Collective Wellbeing which is the wellbeing of Planet & People. Encouraging empowerment, unlimited meaningful conversations about Nature Connection alongside physical and mental health benefits.
Wayapa Wuurrk focuses on a narrative of 14 Natural elements to illustrate our interconnectedness as Nature with the web of life. It respectfully appreciates our place as Nature living regeneratively with Nature and honours sacred Indigenous wisdom without teaching culture.
Wayapa is a gift from the Co- creators Jamie Marloo Thomas, Sara Jones, woven with the wisdom of First Australian elders. There is much we can learn from the oldest living culture on Earth, if we slow down enough to actively listen!
Wayapa has been created in Australia to share with everyone now. We’d love Wayapa to become meaningfully integrated across the globe. There are numerous physical and mental health benefits to regularly practicing Wayapa for 15 -20 minutes each day.
Repetition of the movement sequence builds motor memory, increases muscle strength and range of movement, improves immune system function, balance and coordination. Attention and sleep also improve while stress is reduced through the meditative and Mindfulness practices of Nature Connection. Particularly noticing Nature, which is known to benefit our health, particularly our mental health. Wayapa offers a practical way to engage and enhance our Nature Connection for us at any age and ability.
As a Wayapa Wuurrker and an Occupational Therapist (OT) I truly value the holistic and inclusive wellbeing benefits I experience from my daily Wayapa practice. I worked as an OT in our UK mental health NHS services for 18 years before my adventure began with our Nature based social enterprise. It is a privilege to share Wayapa at the Forest School Association annual conference.
Wayapa offers movement, Mindfulness and meaningful Intergenerational discussions connecting us with Nature as Nature regenerating our Collective Wellbeing.
There is no place for ego or judgement with Wayapa. We are all on our individual journey in life, doing the best we can with the knowledge and skills we have available to us. Wayapa offers us a truly Magical lens to view Nature, our environment, our relationships with each other and our Collective Wellbeing!
The opportunities are limitless. A focus of Collective Wellbeing for Planet and People benefits all life on Earth for generations to come. Please join me and allow me to introduce this to you now.
