I guide in exploring, weaving together layers, depths, practices to create your own ever evolving pathway. Seeding, nurturing and growing ideas for the Earth, each other and ourselves into positive impact

Listening, questioning, sharing and collaborating, as we travel this journey of how to be good humans, conscious creative citizens on a thriving planet together

“Every design has a consequence, let’s make it a good one”

With increasing amounts of noise, jargon and certifications out there, knowing where to start and how can be confusing, intimidating, time-consuming and seemingly expensive.

The reality is, there are no all-encompassing solutions or magic processes. 

Life in this ever-changing world is complex and interconnected, continually evolving. There are multiple and it’s about connecting with yourself, others and the earth to explore and journey with what’s right for you at this time. 

It’s about creating the conditions to start and integrate it holistically, to be able to continue
