ABOUT Paul Robear & Laura Lee

Short Bio: For over 20 years, Laura Lee & Paul Robear, husband and wife team, have practiced and taught Ritual Body Postures, which they describe as “the modern version of a very ancient technique for naturally and easily shifting into an expanded state of awareness, a form of ‘waking dream’ characterized by the experience of a ’spirit journey.’ They are Directors of the Cuyamungue (Kwee-ah-mong-gay) Institute, the world headquarters for this practice, founded by anthropologist Dr. Felicitas Goodman.

About the Institute: The Cuyamungue Institute (CI), is a 501-c-3 non-profit educational research organization founded by the late anthropologist Felicitas D Goodman. Laura and Paul worked with Dr. Goodman the last ten years of her life and since 2000 have taught this work around the world, teach and speak widely at online and in-person events, write the CI website, newsletter, articles, social media, manuals, add to the research and to CI’s extensive, 50-year collection of archives, and more.

AVAILABLE For Speaking Engagements.

Laura Lee and Paul travel extensively as presenters and workshop teachers. As CI’s Directors since 2011, they teach at CI’s worldwide headquarters in Santa Fe New Mexico with a full schedule of workshops during the summer season. Winters were spent traveling, teaching, and speaking internationally, most recently in Munich, Paris, London, Malta and Sydney, Australia. They enjoyed the opportunity to add another venue in 2017, when they were invited to collaborate with artist Mel O’Callaghan to bring CI’s Ecstatic Trance Posture Ritual to a modern art exhibit at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris, where they also choreographed a performance piece, and gave a one-day workshop for over 100 art students at the New School Parsons Paris. Laura wrote the script and narrated a short video, “The Cuyamungue Institute: Bridging Two Worlds” filmed and produced by filmmaker Mark J. Gordon. How to Contact us.
