Earth
Welcome
to a space to breathe,
to be with Time
and to consider how you connect to the land beneath your feet.
My research is considering the emergence of a relational approach to Earth within systemic practice.
It’s an inquiry to be explored in one-to-one and group settings,
in-person, in-animal, in-plant, in-element and on-line,
with human and more-than-human participants, but also in acknowledgement of the less-than-human treatment suffered by many of Earth’s inhabitants,.
This webpage is a means of connection,
like grass running down the hillside from craggy rocks,
to greet you
and to thank you
for your place in this research.
Research
Whether you’re a systemic
practitioner who already uses
a relational approach to Earth
within their practice,
an individual coaching participant
or part of a workshop,
your contribution will enrich
the materials gathered during
the research.
Through sensing into our
physicality,
inquiring into our emotions,
sitting with silence
and sharing our stories,
we’ll explore the effect of Earth-aware practice,
art materials and conversation.
Support
Developing a relational approach to Earth can provoke different feelings, some can be positive but others, such as sadness or anxiety, can be troubling.
After your research experience you may want to talk about your feelings with someone who has experience in this area. The Climate Psychology Alliance has information that you may find helpful and you’ll find links below to coaches who have experience in this field and are well-qualified to offer support.

The sunset represents the feeling of excitement when I connect with Earth.
The ripples in Ocean represent the feeling of centred-ness within my gut.
The overall ‘place-marker’ effect reminds me of the land beneath my feet.
The crescent of the Moon and Ocean ripples speak of Hydrofeminism.
