Let's reimagine stories of relationality

Come with me as we reimagine stories of relationality and, together, weave them into human and organisational roots.
 
Stories of humans and organisations as ecologies. Stories of ecosystem, social system, and planetary health, resting on a multispecies interbeing. Stories of seasonality and cyclicity; of birth, creativity, rest, reflection, grief, harvesting, celebration, evolution, communing, and death. Stories of human and organisational responsibility and responsiveness, transparency and mutualism, repair and reconciliation. And stories of stewardship, commoning, service, midwifery, place, and the exuberant wild.
 
My perspectives have been moulded by twenty-five years of chronic health issues that bring my gaze to my inner world with laser focus. At the same time, living in a queering body has widened my gaze far beyond my self, into animism, interbeing, ancestry, the more-than-human, living systems, place, ecology, and the magnificent, mysterious resonance of the natural and physical world.
 
My perspectives have also been moulded by the middle space I situate as a woman that’s no longer a young adult but not quite an elder, my white skin in whiteness-dominating systems, a middle-class upbringing in England, my lack of connection to my Croation ancestry, and chocolate (less chocolate than I'd like and more chocolate than I probably deserve).
 
Living in Exeter, Devon (UK), on the cusp of Dartmoor and the Jurassic Coast, my ongoing discovery of myself as an ecological creature saturates my work, interests, and perspectives.
 

I LOOK FORWARD TO EXPLORING THIS NEW CONSTELLATION: YOU AND I, IN RELATIONSHIP.
