Warren is a Mens Wellbeing (MW) Elder, a member of the MW Executive (president) and a regular workshop facilitator. He has a passion for gatherings and mixed gender sharing circle work and has lost count of the number of organising committees that he has served on or assisted in some way.

Lisa Bamforth
I’m a social worker, holistic counsellor and SoulCollage® facilitator who thrives on exploring my own growth edge. Relatively new to Women’s Wellbeing, my journey can be best summed up by Wendell Berry’s words, “And the world cannot be discovered by a journey of miles, no matter how long, but only by a spiritual journey of one inch, very arduous and humbling and joyful, by which we arrive at the ground of our own feet and learn to be at home.” So it is that I’m forever arriving, and grateful for the journey.

Christine Clegg
Christine is a Bodywork Therapist, Movement Facilitator, Ceremony Holder, Musician, Dancer, and Scientist, with a passion for the arts as a way of well-being. She loves being wild in nature, holding space for joyful and life-affirming experiences, exploring uncharted inner and outer landscapes, and making art in many ways. She brings her experience of holding space for many women’s circles, yoga classes, movement explorations, community ceremonies, and nature adventures, along with her musicality and general curiosity, to this gathering.
