“I work to increase connection and cooperation around the ecological issues of our time. In bringing meaningful outdoor experiences into the lives of all age groups I intend to ignite in their hearts a lifetime of valuing and knowing the natural world.”
A Biologist, Environmentalist and social entrepreneur, Emily is passionate about EcoWild’s work in health, education, and community engagement and particularly by wellbeing as facilitated by reconnection to the natural world. She has practiced yoga for over 20 years, sings with an acapella group, plays the guitar a little and meditates daily. Also experienced in HIV Community Support Services, Project Coordination in Tropical Health Education, Conservation research and logistics.
"As a facilitator of the work that reconnects I work in partnership with Huw Griffiths, a long time Buddhist, 5 element acupuncturist and Mindfulness teacher. Working exclusively in inspiring living landscapes such as woodland and organic community farmland we are able to open the doors to our ancestral birthright; a sense of ease and belonging in the natural world. Together we have brought many people back into touch with themselves and nature as well as creating long term changes that people can carry forward into their lives."
Why I am called to facilitate the Work
It is the perfect compliment to the work I had already begun through EcoWild; bringing people into closer relationship with the living world so that both benefit. It moved me deeply when I read Active Hope initially and I didn't look back, I have continued studying the work and evolving with it ever since.
How I see the Work serving the Great Turning
I see that when we open the space for people to gain greater perspective they can find their unique path towards creating a harmony that is not yet widespread in our wider world. In so doing they start to weave their part of the new tapestry we wish to create, the new narrative of a life sustaining future.
Audiences I work with
I work with everyone who is willing to engage, as I want as wide a voice and perspective as possible in this work.
I consistently try to make connections with multicultural groups in Bristol to help bring our work to all communities.
