Celia grew up in the Comox Valley and works as a counsellor in private practice with a special focus on trauma healing and embodiment. She believe the Work that Reconnects is a powerful practice to face the full intensity of the state of the world and find empowerment, meaning, connection and direction.

Kazimea is a counsellor and creative arts therapist in private practice. She is drawn to the Work that Reconnects as an eco-spiritual practice that allows us to recognize and deeply feel our connections with each other and with all of earth, which in turn lets us find meaning and comfort in these challenging times. Kazimea also leads Reverberation, a biweekly community song circle, and will be bringing music to Finding our Footing sessions.

Raised by and devoted to this island, Alison Fox, RN, creative arts therapist and conscious dance teacher, has been inspired by Joanna Macy's work for over 30 years. She made a pilgrimage to study with Joanna and Chris Johnstone 13 years ago. Freedom to choose which way to move is among her wishes for all beings.
