Facilitation & Workshops

  • For over a decade I lived and worked at the heart of one of the world's most celebrated intentional communities — the Findhorn Foundation & Ecovillage in Scotland — as a facilitator, workshop leader, and guide for groups navigating change, connection, and collective possibility.

    This work sits alongside my illustration practice not as a separate life, but as a deeply interwoven one. The same values animate everything I do: a love of nature, a belief in human potential, and a conviction that beauty, creativity, and community are not luxuries — they are necessities.

    I am now reactivating this work and available for facilitation, workshop design, and group Leadership. If you are building something that matters — a community, a programme, a gathering — I would love to be part of it.

  • Play, creativity, as vehicles for learning, empowerment, and connection — woven throughout everything I facilitate.

    I hold groups to explore and experience these themes, creating murals, long term visions, collective art sessions using painting and natural elements. Nature Mandala creations, art installations, meaningful shared experiences.

  • Community development, conflict resolution, visioning, and leadership for communities committed to living intentionally.. Informed by 14 years living and working within the Findhorn Foundation ecosystem and 10 living in an intentional ecological community and Natural Reserve in Brazil.

  • Gatherings drawing on the deep feminine — creativity, embodiment, nature connection, and collective wisdom — to help women step more fully into their power, purpose, and joy. Informed by over 20 years of sitting in women’s circles and studying the arts of the feminine, the archetypes, the goddesses, the Celtic tradition, the Orixas worldview and she Amazonic shamanism of the encantados. Uniting mythology, storytelling and initiation into womanhood, a mystical path.

  • An imaginative, grounded, deeply respectful approach rooted in Waldorf education, art, nature, and play. I believe children have as much to teach us as we have to offer them.

    Art, storytelling, nature connection, deep listening. Tailored workshops available.
