EARTHED is a community of nature-inspired coaches, facilitators and change-makers.

We create and hold space to support leaders, organisations and local communities to slow down, adapt and consciously respond to the current socio-economic, environmental and ecological crises.

As the old models, systems, processes and linear approaches become ever more redundant; we collaborate with forward thinking organisations, social entrepreneurs, innovators, networks and local projects to develop inter-relational ways of thinking, working, being and prototyping a regenerative culture.

Our work is a ‘learning ground’ - informed by Nature’s principles, living systems, cyclical rhythms and embodied ways of knowing, while being actively rooted in the present, our local environment and the more-than-human world.

We look forward to connecting and collaborating with those holding questions not answers.

“The major problems in the world are the result of the difference between how Nature works and the way people think.”
— Gregory Bateson

Who we are

Earthed was ‘seeded’ with us meeting as members of the Climate Coaching Alliance in 2019.

  • Al works as a Regenerative Coach and Business Consultant who partners with mission-driven creative leaders, social business entrepreneurs and change-makers - who are looking for a deeper connection and transformation to make a positive impact in their work.

    As a consultant, facilitator and coach he appreciates, and works with the idea that organisational or system evolution is tightly connected to human development.

    Opening up and holding space to explore complex challenges facing organisations today - including the climate and ecological crises – along with an intimacy required to face our deepest fears and visions of the future as human beings.

  • Now is the time to evolve from our perceived ‘human cleverness’ to an inherent, indigenous natural wisdom to inform our culture, organisations, coaching approaches and distributed leadership.

    I explore and guide with 'Natural Intelligence' to help organisations adapt, evolve and grow. Reframing leadership and business challenges - using a life-centred design approach.

    I’m interested in unearthing ‘warm data’ buried deep in the ecology of human social structures, knowledge, organisations and culture.

    In my coaching practice - ‘Human Nature’ - I focus on supporting men to reconnect to their ‘Natural Self’... to find alignment, meaning and positive impact in their lives and work.

  • Having moved from London to Frome a year ago, I am particularly interested in how we can rediscover simple, considerate ways of living and working together in community, specifically community as an active verb.

    I am Influenced by a range of wise teachers, mentors and companions with whom I continue to explore the nature of change through a broad range of influences, including integral theory, systems thinking, embodied philosophy and eco psychology.

    All this jargon however, melts into the irrelevant distance as soon as I cross the threshold, under the bridges and into the expanse of land we’re lucky enough to work from with Earthed. This residency is not only a chance to let nature infuse the development of my own practice, but to remember what it means to truly collaborate within a living environment.

    Central to my exploration is how we can allow people to feel safe in themselves, and their work and their bodies. The body being imperative to change and yet still left out of the majority of conversations especially in organisations which need it the most.

    Two short ideas which inform my thinking every day and will continue to guide me on this adventure are:

    ‘We’re not just that and nothing more’ – Nora Bateson.

    From Nora Bateson’s Warm Data work. It reminds me to avoid binaries and recognise the multiplicity of what it means to be a complex human living in uncertain times. It informs my perception of responsibility for the people and environments beyond me.

    ‘Less preparation, more presence’  adrienne maree brown, Emergent Strategy.

    I continue to find this principle in equal measure challenging and relieving. There is depth in its simplicity.  I try to remind myself that our responses in the moment are not always perfect but teach us humility and vulnerability.

He supports clients within these sectors whilst continually exploring and shaping the spaces in between them. He combines a depth of experience working in the built environment across property, regeneration and sustainability sectors with work as a coach, facilitator and outdoor guide.

    Whether as a consultant, coach, facilitator, guide or wayfarer, his work is increasingly focused on the connection between the built environment, humanity and the natural world. At the heart of many of Jaime’s projects are the pillars of ‘place’ and ‘community’ in supporting the shifts required to create a sustainable, regenerative future.

  • I have spent much of my working life feeling torn between the current system which sustains my life today and the emergent system that needs to sustain humanity in the future. I have often felt the need to keep them separate…my experience as a surveyor and my passion for human development and protecting our natural world. This is my experience of the ‘two horses’ we often talk about as EARTHED, each in its separate stable. My tension is not unique and a key question I hold is how do I embrace that tension as a space for learning and creativity. I am curious how society and particularly the world of business can do the same?

    To this end I have been hugely influenced by the work of Giles Hutchins and Laura Storm and their ability to make natural systems relevant to the world of business (Regenerative Leadership & The Nature of Business)

    I am fascinated to continue learning about the role nature connection, systemic coaching and experiential learning can play in unlocking the new ways of thinking. How can a more human-centric way of approaching the workplace help business work through the complexity of the modern world. This relates to my work as a whole but also specifically within the build environment. I believe these elements are key if we are going to positively shift how we approach what we do. How can nurturing a greater connection to community and place help me and others working within the built environment move from a largely transactional approach to a role as ‘placekeepers’?

    Place, the scale at which humanity and environment entwines. Our essential human connections that hold and support us in community.

    A key influence in my exploration of this has been the work of Otto Scharmer (Theory U)

    Other questions I am currently working with inspired through working as EARTHED…

    I am curious about continually evolving my ability to move beyond the echo chamber and learn how to hold spaces to slow down and connect in a world that never wants to pause?

    I keep coming back to the phrase coined by Jez…our ‘LinkedIn Avatar’. How do we stop reducing ourselves to a ‘personal brand’ or photos of ‘living our best lives’ when they are a cause of such pain and anguish. What does it take for us to move beyond this?

  • As a Systemic Coach & Team Development Facilitator, Jeremy helps clients explore their sense of self, considering their professional experience in the context of a wider field, to invite exploration beyond their usual frames, and open up the experience of the possible as something sensed as real.

Retaining the essence of adventure he loves working with people and is never happier when that’s together in the outdoors. He’s an accredited Associate Coach (ICF) and a Team Development Facilitator who enables clients to achieve personal growth and development by focussing on insight, awareness, attitude & choice.

    Jeremy is particularly interested in the intersectionality between personal development and nature, having directly experienced the transformative effect of extended periods in the wilds as a Wilderness Guide & Mountain Leader. He’s also been exploring intelligence in it’s emotional, intuitive and embodied forms using 4-D mapping to bring perspective to current situations.

  • These are challenging times….

    It’s becoming clearer that the world of artificial intelligence is getting really good at mimicking the stuff we used to think was clever. Prophesies abound of secure jobs being obliterated into legacies replaced by algorithms . What does it mean to be human in these times? Indeed, as humanity itself faces existential crises from all sides, I find myself asking what are the defining features of our more-then-human experience? And what are we missing?

    As a coach, I often use enquiry as a way of opening up possibilities with clients. And so here, in this truly unique opportunity to be a custodian of this farm, I’m stepping into this experiment to turn the lens back on myself, as a 5-season creative residency, in the same way an artist might, to try something differently; sharpen my own sword (or pencil!)

    In this, the decisive decade, what does it mean to become a good ancestor?

    “There is fierce urgency to this work. It’s a paradox; on one hand we are in such perilous times. Each one of us holds billions and billions of future lives in our hands (human & non-human) and yet the mindset of urgency that created the problem isn’t the mindset that will solve it.” – Ella Saltmarshe & Pat McCabe

    For me this is a deeply personal journey embracing this time to explore my own relationship to nature & the big time turning of the seasons. Equally we are keen to extended our offering as a collective provocation/invitation for others to join us on this journey. Come and be vulnerable; step into this space of not-knowing; reach out and share stories; cultivate the seeds of our dreams and collaborate across boundaries. It’s been spaces like these that I have always been drawn to and here we have the opportunity to - who knows - make some remarkable things happen. Whatever happens, I’ll be here, listening, watching and observing, deeply aware of the challenge to ‘quiet our clever’.

    As a facilitator, I will be exploring individually and collectively our personal, embodied relationship to nature, to the aliveness of being & to the web of life. I’ll be dedicating this time to be working in service of those who join us on the farm, supporting us as visitors to journey deeper in search of insight, of movements and shifts, towards peace.

    In co-creating liminal spaces with other artists and practitioners, I’ll be attending to the details, to the spaces in between, to the transitions and the returns, in service of personal insight and deep knowing. I’ll be documenting my own journey with film, writing and music.

    Finally as part of a talented team of motivated, planet-committed, social creatives, I will be journeying alongside my fellow travellers, showing up, whatever the weather (internal and out), to support our collective enquiry.

    Look forward to sharing the journey.
