I’m interested in how culture mediates our animal experience of being alive and well - how basic human needs like movement, rest, sustenance and relationship get shaped by belief, design, geography and technology.I’ve trained as a writer, a Montessorian, a weightlifting coach, and a school teacher in Britain and Mongolia. I started Bristol Co-operative Gym and co-founded Bristol Community Sauna - both experiments in how physical culture can be welcoming, soulful and socially-owned. This autumn, I’ll begin a diploma in architecture.I’m currently developing Bodyways - a learning programme of adventures, encounters, and other invitations to experience fitness as a path to self-knowledge and "living wholeness".It’s an evolving fieldwork project across Britain — visiting historical sites, interviewing people, documenting alternative traditions of movement and care. The aim is to create learning resources that are adaptive, sensory, and supportive of the particular relationship between a person and the conditions of their life.Follow how it's going on my Substack and Instagram.I'm keen to collaborate and learn from anyone working in these overlaps - email me!
