‘To work and be of benefit to the living and natural world’

Who We Are

Natural Living & Being is our way of living, practising, healing, learning and returning.

We are Wayama and PahPah.

Together, we hold spaces for Natural Wellness, one-to-one support, Reiki, meditation, circles, ceremony, wellness days, retreats, home and land work, and community practice.

This work has grown through our own lives, our relationship with nature, our healing practices, our teachers, our community, and the places we care for.

Our Story

Natural Living & Being began to take form in 2020.

Through facilitation sessions led by Justine Hall, and with the support of our Reiki community, the vision, scope and principles of this work began to grow.

Before that, Wayama’s work had already been developing through Addika Therapies in Bendigo, with massage, bodywork, Reiki, meditation, spiritual practice, gardens, circles and one-to-one support.

Since then, Natural Living & Being has continued to grow step by step.

Through Stawell.

Through The Lighthouse.

Through Wonderland.

Through practice, community, ceremony, land, learning, change and return.

We are still learning.

We are still practising.

We are still listening.

Meet PahPah and Wayama

We met in 2013, both following a thread of dreams.

To live close to nature.

To heal.

To create spaces where people could reconnect with themselves, with life, and with the natural world.

We bring different gifts to the work, but the centre is shared:

relationship, care, honesty, kindness, presence and trust.

PahPah Gayle

Creator | Practitioner

PahPah brings heart, gentleness, Reiki, meditation, sound, plant connection, totem work, shamanic practice, nature relationship and steady presence.

Her work supports people to reconnect with care, stillness, heart, energy, nature and the simple wisdom of being.

Wayama Addika

Creator | Practitioner

Wayama brings grounded body-based care, Reiki, meditation, shamanic practice, teaching, ceremony, writing, consultation and integration.

Her work supports people to listen deeply, recognise what is moving, meet the Doorway that is opening, and return what is discovered into lived action.

The Places We Hold

Natural Living & Being is held through place as well as practice.

The Lighthouse

Stawell, Victoria

It is a small cottage with a big heart, created for consultations, Reiki, meditation, gathering, healing, ceremony and return.

The gardens hold birds, food, the Grandmother Tree and The Wheel.

It is a place to arrive, settle, listen and be met.

Wonderland

Pyrenees Ranges, Victoria

Wonderland is our 3-acre property.

It is a place of land, trees, retreat, ceremony, community, nature connection and The Greater Whole.

It is where some of our deeper land-based, retreat and ceremonial work is held.
