tomasz drybala ltd

I'm a Presenter, Keynote Speaker on Mindful Self-Leadership, an Extreme Runner and the Author of "Mindful Self-Leadership: How I Broke The Pattern And Unlocked Focus, Creativity And Joy In Work And Life." In my keynotes, I equip leaders and their teams with mindful movement tools to support positive behaviours, improve mental health and learn to deal effectively with change and adversity. Build intrinsic motivation and develop more resilience in the workplace and all other areas of life. Navigate stressful situations with calmness and clarity, and cultivate an ability to be present, open-minded, and compassionate when interacting with team members. My ultra-running challenges consist of five million steps in 101 days, running 11,000 kilometres unsupported through Asia and 2,500 kilometres through Scotland, England and Poland. In 2022, I started running the circumference of the Earth, 40,075 km, nearly 25 000 miles. For 40 months, I will run across four continents and 22 countries, conducting over 400 events, raising funds for UNICEF, promoting my book, recording documentaries and participating in research led by leading UK sports scientists. My extreme challenges and work have been published globally and featured in National Geographic, Red Bull, New York Post, The Daily Mail and Fox, among others.

living slow cooking school

I have been a food and cooking enthusiast for as long as I can remember. I’ve had the privilege of working for and meeting some incredible and inspiring people in the food industry. For the last few years I have been working for sourdough guru Vanessa Kimbell, author and founder of The Sourdough School. I am also working for Hodmedods, British pulse and grain pioneers. However, my cooking has also been influenced by many wonderful friends and family members over the years, and from travelling and teaching myself. Believe it or not, I was a picky eater as a child. Although I was happy to try new things, I wasn’t a big fruit and vegetable eater. That all changed when I went to work on a farm in Spain aged 19. Each day I worked in the vegetable garden, watching the plants grow, connecting with the earth. We harvest our food from the garden and shared communal meals with the other workers. Meals were always piles of green leaves, bowls of different colourful salads, grilled fish, and plates of beautiful tomatoes. None of which I would have eaten back in England! But out of a combination of politeness and sheer hunger at the end of a hard day’s work, I dug in.

educcate global

At COP 24 in Katowice, Poland [November 2018] Harwood Education and UNITAR held a joint press conference to announce a non-financial agreement that would allow Harwood Education to access 5 of UNITAR’s climate change trainings, adapt them for and offer them to teachers for free.These courses still form the foundational training within our Bronze Award. Harwood Education, covered the costs of the video editing, voice overs and supporting documentation, marketing and social media and invested to create a joint portal that could handle the volume of teachers who wanted to take the teacher training. eduCCate Global was launched on Earth Day, April 22, 2019. By the end of that year, 329K teachers in 43 countries had taken and completed the first Climate Change Teacher Training in the world. In November 2019, Melanie Harwood was invited to speak at The Climate Change in Education Conference in Dubai. It was also an opportunity to visit a school there where every teacher was a Certified Climate Change Teacher and to meet key stakeholders in education in the Middle East region. Insert video of Mel speaking at the conference Melanie was joined on this trip to the UAE by The Guardian Visual Feature Team and the Leadership Team (Education) from Hammersmith & Fulham Council, United Kingdom to visit a school in Dubai and a UK Delegation of Education Leaders. Here’s that coverage.

champion science

Dr. Erica Colón is a National Board Certified Teacher with over twelve years of teaching experience in 6th-12th grade secondary science, including Physical Science, Biology, Chemistry, Earth Science, and Marine Science. In 2008 Erica earned her Master’s in Educational Administration, but quickly realized her passion was working with science teachers. Erica returned to earn her Doctorate in Curriculum and Instruction in 2011, and through one of life’s unexpected turns, she founded Nitty Gritty Science, LLC and has reached tens of thousands of science teachers all around the globe! In 2020, a global pandemic changed the course of history, quickly changing our daily lives in all aspects, and in the scope of education it changed how teachers taught and how students learned. Everywhere educators faced pandemic-driven remote learning that they had to navigate on their own, practically overnight. Looking for ways to support science teachers, Dr. Colón gathered science educators, communicators, and field scientists to learn from one another, as well as share ideas, struggles, and perseverance of added workloads and in doing so, brought together a team of champions! Champions For Science continues as an educator’s conference series where extraordinary leaders, creators, and innovators in science education come together to focus on the most important matter – our students –the future CHAMPIONS FOR SCIENCE!

jamie catto

JAMIE CATTO FACILITATES PROFESSIONAL, PERSONAL AND CREATIVE BREAKTHROUGHS, DRAWING FROM HIS OWN PROCESSES IN GROUND-BREAKING FILM PRODUCTION, PHILOSOPHY VOYAGES AND MUSIC. Our mission is to make self-reflection hip enough to save us from ourselves. We believe that by collectively acknowledging our insanity and our deepest darkest shadows, we can learn how to work with it to tackle global crisis’ by channelling our energy into action for the world rather than using it all up on fighting ourselves. In doing so, we give each other permission to let our masks fall and focus on what’s really important. PLAY - Through play we clear the path for creativity and social engagement by dropping the weight of emotionally charged reactions! CREATIVITY - Fuels all that we do whether creating art or how we live our everyday lives connected to the Flow state. FACING THE SHADOW Because we all have a dark side and the sooner we let it in and get to know it, the less it will threaten to drag us into the shadows with it. INTIMACY - The most precious and sought after experience on earth allowing us to experience true, deep connection. AUTHENTICITY - It’s exhausting wearing a mask. When we let it fall we can redirect our energy to where it is most needed for ourselves and for the world, giving others permission to do the same.

oak and smoke tannery

Oak and Smoke Tannery is dedicated to Natural Tanning and Traditional Leatherwork. Oak and Smoke Tannery is made up of Jane Robertson and Jessie Watson Brown. We are two individuals with a passion for the wildness in nature and the skills that enable us to live closely to the earth. Through this journey… we discovered tanning! The tanning processes we practise use only natural ingredients – locally harvested tree barks such as Oak and Willow, oils and Smoke. We tan and sell leather, rawhide and unique leather handcrafts. The Heritage Crafts association has categorised tanning as ‘critically endangered’ as a craft because there are so few people practising it and even less teaching it. We intend to demystify the art of tanning by teaching simple methods, with simple tools. This is how we were taught and how we still practise. We learned tanning in Washington State in America and more recently from traditional tanners in Scandinavia.  We love the discovery of learning how different skins and processes work, and seeing the alchemical change that they go through during the tanning process. When we first returned from America lots of people were asking us to teach them tanning so we set up our first hide camp. The first year was small with a group of friends, and it was a booming success. Since then its grown and grown every year and now we run numerous camps every year, as well as guest teaching on other courses and offering individual tuition. All this as well as of course tanning leather ourselves on Dartmoor and in Mid Wales. We would love to see tanning become normal in peoples homes, as it once would have been. Most of the UK's domestic animal skins get exported to other countries or tanned in chemically intensive commercial tanneries, and most wild animal skins are wasted - its heart breaking! We have very high standards when it comes to ethics and the environment [https://www.oakandsmoketannery.co.uk/ethics]. All our skins are by-products of farming and hunting, otherwise discarded.

upcoming workshops & retreats with kubi may...

I grew up in a little market town in the East Midlands, happily in awe of the magic buzzing beneath the tapestry of existence in the countryside surrounding me, making childhood potions from crushed herbs and flowers and sneaking home Esoteric books to read from the library. At 18, I grew restless with a curiosity about the world and quit college to save up, travel, and spend time learning from the hidden tribes and global communities I had read so much about. My travels expanded my understanding around magic and how ritual had manifested in different indigenous cultures beyond our Celtic origins. Here, I began my journey training to become a Reiki healer (and eventually teacher), with a personal earth mission to also contribute as much healing, light and joy to our planet as possible. By my twenties I had returned home, moved to the city and anchored myself back into a decade of education. I gained a PGCE qualification as a secondary school art teacher and finished a University Degree; a BA Honours in Creative Therapies where I focused my dissertation on the healing power of Creative Ritual and Art in Psychotherapy. Following this, I worked for 5 years as a Creative Therapist as part of an Intensive intervention Team for Children in Social Care, whilst also founding and managing London's Activist Art group 'The People's Tribe' to try and promote positive change in society with creativity (and of course, rebellion!) As I approached my thirties, I began to delve deep into my own shadow work and healing, which lead me to explore the healing potential of plant medicines, shamanic rituals and tincture making. One summer, I softened, decided it was time to return back to the countryside and challenged myself to set off at sunset for an overnight pilgrimage. I mapped out the leylines and followed them on foot, walking 12 hours by myself through the night, singing songs to the stars and arrived at sunrise on the mystical lands of Glastonbury for the first time, where I began my training in Celtic Shamanism.... and never left! I'm humbled to live a harmonious and gentle life here upon the mystical lands of Avalon. From this sacred motherland, I forage and make flower tincture medicines from the earth and sculpt personalised wands from the fallen branches of the ancient orchards. More than anything, I love to compassionately hold space for others walking the sacred path of initiation or undertaking healing/ shadow work. (We're at a very interesting moment in history where nothing is more important than this!) I do this using therapy, ritual, ceremony, playfulness and creativity to help alchemise and empower individuals to step into the highest version of themselves and it brings me so much joy to see the light returning, one by one, to the beautiful tribe we know as the human race. Let's rise together and remember who we really are as we make the journey back home to ourselves!
