Reconnecting to your innate wisdom with Wayapa Wuurrk

Indigenous Health MedTalk

Dr Danielle Arabena yarns with Jamie Marloo Thomas and Sara Jones, the Co-Creators & Directors of Wayapa Wuurrk. Wayapa is an internationally accredited and trademarked earth and mindfulness connection practice based on Indigenous wisdom, the very first of its kind. They chat about ways we can all reconnect to our innate wisdom and the great Mother by living in a mindful, sustainable and earth healing way. Wayapa Wuurrk Jamie is a proud GunaiKurnai man and Maara descendant and Sara is a Canadian Welsh Australian. In 2014, Jamie, and Sara, created Wayapa Wuurrk® (which translates to Connect to Earth), an internationally-accredited and trademarked Earth Mindfulness Connection Practice. Based on Indigenous wisdom of living in harmony with the environment, Wayapa combines ancient earth mindfulness, storytelling and embodiment meditation to create Earth Mind Body Spirit Well-being. Jamie & Sara have shared Wayapa with thousands of people in Australia and around the world. They have also trained over 130 Wayapa Practitioners to help them deliver Wayapa Workshops to a wide variety of audiences including child care centres and schools, government departments, corporate organisations, the prison system, community groups and the health care sector. Jamie is a regular speaker at conferences and events and has also recently become a published co-author with Sara, contributing a chapter in “Silver Linings”, a book about uplifting stories coming out of the global COVID-19 pandemic and “Being Fine, the other F Word” a book about mens mental health. Jamie and Sara are passionate about helping people tap into their ancestral knowledge to create purpose, belonging and intergenerational well-being for a healthier, more connected planet. https://wayapa.com/ https://wayapa.com/workshops/ https://wayapa.com/online-course/
