Shona’s heart and soul is on fire with the question... 'How can we create supportive, resilient communities in our world today?' She holds a vision of humans coming together, living in balance with nature and each other, and of relighting the ancient ways of simple yet profound connection. The weaving together of people, ceremony and ritual is where this vision comes most alive for Shona, and particularly in Community Forest School sessions, Wheel of the Year celebrations, Way of Council circles, Vision Questing and Grief Tending in Community.

Shona’s formal training is in Psychology, Teaching and Forest School facilitating. She has learnt alongside Sophy Banks and Jeremy Thres on the Apprenticing to Grief programme and facilitates Way of Council. Shona is on a pathway of training to become an End of Life Doula with Living Well Dying Well. She is a food-grower, a tender-of-gardens, a food and medicine forager, and a river water swimmer.
