ABOUT Paul Robear & Laura Lee

Short Bio: For over 30 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-yah-mong-gay) Institute, the world headquarters for this practice, founded by anthropologist Dr. Felicitas Goodman.
