Elena Harris
|
Elena feels most at home barefoot, under a canopy of trees and stars, bathed in the view of a communal fire. She has always had a deep love for wild places and is passionate about raising her two wild boys to know this love and passion.
Elena home-educated her boys in their early years and this experience inspired her to immerse herself in the arts of the old ways and ancient, traditional skills. An experienced nature connection facilitator, Elena is trained as a level 3 Forest School Leader, as well as having completed numerous professional trainings with Wildwise, including 'Call of the Wild' Foundation in Outdoor Leadership. Elena co-founded Wildlings, an outdoor provision for electively home educated children and is currently working on a new project, 'Earthlings With Elena', as well as performing regular facilitation roles on behalf of Wildwise. Elena facilitates Sprouts and Roots Wild School sessions on Tuesdays. You can contact Elena by email at [email protected] or by phone on 07780008445.
