Meet Your Guides

Hamish Mackay-Lewis is a coach, facilitator and purpose and wilderness guide - eternally committed to the wisdom and gift of our moment-to-moment experience and the understanding that land and people are medicine for each other. 

His journey from serving with the Armed Forces to doing what he does today, has given him an understanding of what it means to struggle between the pull of one’s soul’s calling and the comfort of security.

With an approach that has emerged from indigenous and ancient wisdom traditions, contemporary psychological insight and embodiment practises, he guides people in how to be themselves and follow their OWN path (without losing everyone and everything).

She has been immersed in the fertile edge of transformational leadership and healing for the past 20 years in her own life firstly, and externally in delivering retreats across Africa, India and Europe for thousands of attendees.

Her work rests on three main pillars: ancient wisdom and shamanic healing arts, facilitation and modern leadership approaches, and a healthy dose of heartful, no-bs, real life grit.

Jed is a group facilitator and ceremonialist deeply engaged in how the natural world can support individual growth and group insight to uplift the energy within a given situation. He fosters deep holding for groups to come alive to “what is” in collective inquiry and ritual space.

Having spent lots and lots of time on Dartmoor training with Wildwise, he is a nature connection facilitator and guide; a journey which began in 2020, when the pandemic highlighted a profound inner need for entering into a deeper relationship with nature. He is also a magical practitioner, DJ and space holder: working in these ways as part of a wider transition to cultural regeneration in this land.

A keen interest in wellbeing and culture is also central to his practice and he’s worked on the Woods for Wellness project at Dartington Hall as a nature facilitation leader and with Journeyman, a UK charity, mentoring school age boys to help them transition to a generative masculinity.
