Inspired By
In a world Where the Mind Grows through the harmony of people and planet health, regenerative approaches, biomimicry, and ecopsychology serve as guiding principles for my work and all we do at WTMG's. These concepts encourage us to learn from nature’s wisdom, understand practices beyond sustainability; that benefit both our mental well-being and the environment. By integrating the Inner Development Goals and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), we create a framework for personal and collective growth that aligns with ecological balance. Together, these approaches inspire a holistic perspective, nurturing a deeper connection to ourselves and the world around us.
​
The work I do is also inspired by trauma-informed and psychological safety principles which allow us to become better communicators and prioritise mental health and well-being for our individual selves, collective cultures and wider ecosystems
​
​
Small can still be impactful!
