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.
