Did you know the Amazon Rainforest only needs 15 years to rewild itself?  Nature has the power to heal itself and to heal us. Plus it provides what we truly need: fresh air, clean water, sunlight, healthy food, happiness, inspiration & endless beauty. When we co-exist with nature in a harmonious way and restore our relationship by becoming guardians of the natural world, we can really make a difference to the quality of life on earth at this time for all creatures, plant life and ecosystems big & small.  Rewilding is a golden key to how we can reverse things such as climate change, species extinction and pollution. Since we are part of nature, we can also rewild ourselves: inducing states of being extremely present, inspired, expressed, confident and playful. In this session, we will have some wild experts discussing the topic, sharing some of their rewilding wisdom, why we would want to create, support and encourage rewilding efforts and how we can rewild ourselves.

Presenters:

  • Rachel Corby is an author, plant whisperer and personal rewilding coach. Her passion with rewilding began whilst working with a shaman in the Ecuadorian rainforest. Since then, she has trained with various indigenous and contemporary teachers in Africa, South America and the USA, including Eliot Cowan and Stephen Harrod Buhner. She firmly believes that the rift between humankind and wider nature needs to be healed. That we each need to rewild individually before we can hope to effectively rewild the earth. Her work reflects this as she draws on her wealth of training and experience to give people the tools they need for self healing, for building relationships with the more-than-human and for the wider healing of Mother Earth. She has dedicated her life to sharing love and respect for our fellow species on this planet and for Earth Gaia - the living breathing sentient organism of which we are an inseparable part. Rachel leads workshops, retreats, apprenticeships and online mentorships encouraging people to connect with plant spirits and to reignite their own wild core. ::http://www.wildgaiansoul.com::

Her work has been influential in the birth of Extinction Rebellion Rewilding (XR RW), is quoted in K.T. Tunstall’s album Tiger Suit and has written for Radiohead’s newspaper ‘The Universal Sigh’.
