A visionary in her field!

"... a great piece with a strong header ..." ~ Sydney Straver, &BLOOM, NZ via Linkedin (2025)

Deborah Early, PhD discussed the links between loneliness, biodiversity loss and climate change. Read her opinion piece "Are we just talking the talk here?" (pg10) here . Don't miss the associated video on this topic here.

Deborah and I have had thoroughly engaging conversations recently around  nature connectivity, biophilia, regenerative thinking and a need for (re)engaging all of our senses. These  are areas in which Deborah demonstrates her passion, her forward  thinking to combine art and science, her research and application to practice for wellbeing designs. Deborah presented to our recent  international Biophilia Summit, sharing that passion, her  experiences and insights on adaptation and behaviour change, through  reading and expanding on extracts from her recent book 'Forest Bathing  with Your Clothes On'  ~ Martin Brown, FRSA, VP Living Future Europe.

Agriculture, Architecture,  Art, City, Construction, Education, Fashion, Imagineering, Leadership,  Photography, Product, Anthropology, Research, Verse

These  were topics covered as I gathered with biophilic lovers,  architects, designers, psychologists, educators, artists, researchers  consultants and presented at the Biophilia Summit with LIVING FUTURES EUROPE. (Approx. 150 synchronous attendees and 16 speakers, with additional attendees watching the recording.)

 " I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Early  when she was a contributor to the Herbal Academy's The Herbarium, a  membership-only online resource of herb-related articles, multi-media  offerings, and herbal monographs. Dr. Early's contributions to this  collection of knowledge were submitted on time and were well-written and  nicely organized. Communication was a breeze, and she was open to  feedback and edits. She was certainly an asset during her time as a  contributor, and I recommend Dr. Early for any herbal and/or  health-related writing project." ~Annie Hall, Editorial Team, The Herbal Academy, Herbarium
