Performance, Ritual, Stories

I’ve had a long career as an arts producer, writer, performer, cultural leader and consultant.

I work at what I love and live to be inspired by the work I do.

I’m a founder member of The Forest Ridge Project, a land and arts community in Dumfries & Galloway, where I live.

I am a qualified Civil Funeral Celebrant offering ceremony design and delivery for traditional burials and cremations, as well as natural burials and eco-funerals.

Some themes and values which inform my life and work:

Community and culture.
Nature and environment.
Facing death better – as a society and as individuals – how we prepare, talk about it and mark it.
The stories that help us reconnect with the land we live on.
