Earthling, father, partner.
A regenerative practitioner, creative strategist, action researcher, co-designer, guide, sacred activist, writer, speaker and DJ working at the intersection of ecology, culture, and transformation.
With roots in the worlds of storytelling, activism, and systems innovation, I help individuals and organisations reimagine their roles in a world undergoing profound change.
I draw on 25 years of experience in creative industries, participatory leadership, and place-based learning to design processes that foster deep connection, agency, and collective renewal.
I am known for my work in cultivating regenerative mindsets and practices that align human activity with the rhythms and needs of the living world.
I am the founder, host and guide at Spaceship Earth, a podcast, consultancy and learning platform for exploring how we might live with greater imagination and responsibility as crew members of a planet in crisis.
At heart, I’m a bridge-builder—linking the inner and outer, the personal and systemic, the practical and the poetic in service of a thriving future.
I’ve collaborated with teams in many different types of organisation - including Nokia, Google, Patagonia, Unilever, Finisterre, The UN, The Global Goals, Ecover, Boston Tea Party Cafes, Boots, Girl Effect/Nike Foundation, RSPB, National Trust, Marine Conservation Society, Common Seas, City to Sea, The Green Economy Coalition, Wellbeing Economy Alliance, Emerging Futures/Joseph Rowntree Foundation, Extinction Rebellion and UKSCN. I’ve guided hundreds of people through action learning experiences and co-design projects.

Un/Learning
I don’t believe we can talk, think, campaign and innovate our way into the future without deeper individual and collective transformation.
We are in a relational crisis with the living Earth and with each other through ways of perceiving, thinking and being that view humans as separate from life itself. These ways have shaped the design of modern structures, systems, ways of organising and being that we are now understanding to be highly destructive.
One way through is by un/learning and evolving ourselves together, growing life-centric cultures as we go, drawing on much wider intelligence from our more than human family and from each other, cultivating more diverse ways of knowing, relating, thinking and being.
Centering the vast wisdom of the Earth, along with deep inquiry into relationality and entanglement are central to my practice.
