Isabelle Giraldo is Half Belgian, half Colombian, as a child of expat parents she travelled the world, discovering the beauty, the playfulness, the magic of nature. The first time she touched snow, witnessed the moon rise, climbed her first tree, heard the sound of autumn leaves under her feet, felt the waves of the ocean on her body are still deep embodied in her.
An artist at heart she decided to study architecture in Brussels and for 15 years led a full life as a mother of 4 and working in construction. Her career going from creating projects to house homeless to building Malls in Doha, Qatar, witnessing the poor treatment of the workers. Growing more aware everyday of the destruction of the planet, wondering what world her children and grand-children would grow up in, she decided to leave the construction business to find a life of purpose. Thus began her journey.
After completing the Right Livelihood Certificate at Schumacher College, she started teaching mindfulness to kids and in schools, continued her training to become a WTR facilitator and a GNH (Gross National Happiness) practitioner.
Her projects involve integrating mindfulness, GNH and eco-awareness in schools (www.grainesdemergences.org) and developing engaged mindfulness workshops and the mindfulness initiative Belgium(www.emergences.org)

Why I am called to facilitate the Work

For a very long time I have felt the call to heal the Human-Earth Relationship. As we are part of the Earth and nature, the disconnect we experience not only seprates us from nature but from ourselves as well.
The WTR is a beautiful journey to experience in depth reconnection to ourselves, others and Earth.
And I love takind other hulans on that journey!

How I see the Work serving the Great Turning

As mentioned above, I feel that the Work helps us weave us back to Earth and heal our wound of separation.
This healing is deeply needed in these times of the Great Turning.
