Drawing on her work as an ecopsychologist and Faculty Sustainability Chair, she will explore how we can regenerate deep and respectful relationships with nature - particularly in the context of historical disconnection, colonisation, and limited access to wild spaces.
The session will consider how cultivating a sense of kinship with the living world can become a lived experience for a diverse range of people, and why this is a vital step toward meaningful sustainability.
