Alana Bloom is a facilitator, artist and activist stewarding eco-centric and animist ways of being that bring us back into connection with the natural world, each other and our deepest nature. Her work is focused on regeneration and cultural change through personal and collective healing, centred in our relationship with the earth. She has been guiding transformational experiences for people to explore unleashing their true wild self for several years, working with hundreds of people and a variety of organisations on the frontiers of personal and planetary healing. Passionate about the 8 shields map and nature connection she has studied and worked with a range of practitioners from the UK’s Nature Culture Network and Animas Valley.

She has spent a number of years working in the fields of peer-led learning, community building, grief tending and ecosystem restoration. She guides with a playful yet deep and authentic spirit seeded from her background in physical theatre, circus and dance with embodiment, ritual, creativity and nature connection as foundational to the way she facilitates.

Co-founder of True Nature, a platform for women’s empowerment, she regularly hosts retreats on Dartmoor. She is also co-director of The Living Projects supporting community and land regeneration initiatives as well as community building as the member manager for Earthed. You can find her roaming the wilds of Dartmoor where she lives in Devon, UK or singing, dancing and writing poetry.
