Daniela Krasnanova
Founder | Director
Daniela's work spans multiple mediums, drawing inspiration from interdisciplinary research and a deep appreciation for nature. Her focus is on creating projects that promote healing by strengthening our bond with nature through various forms, such as board games, art installations, landscape design, and film production. She has crafted around 500 gardens and landscapes, with 11 of her garden installations receiving awards at Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) shows. Her strong connection to nature was apparent from a young age and became professionally recognised after she earned a degree in garden design in 2011, followed by a Master's in Sustainable Design in 2021.
Dr. Lucie Turner
Director
Lucie has spent 20 years as a clinical psychologist in mental health, using her expertise to explore life, work with illness, and support healing. The last decade has been dedicated to deepening her connection with the nature within and outside herself, through shamanic and herbalism apprenticeship and a dedicated spiritual and creative practice. With her wealth of experience, she accompanies individuals on their path of growing through trauma, offering both individual and group therapy, along with ceremonial sessions. Her approach weaves the best of the new wave of trauma informed therapies with ecotherapy / nature-based therapy, ritual and ceremony. This approach seems to honour the importance of our individual soul paths, while also connecting people to the wider web of life. This is a holistic approach to physical, psychological, and spiritual wellbeing. Nature is a powerful teacher, providing a compassionate mirror to us at time of crisis, helping us to see our true essence as well as work with both the familiar and hidden parts of ourselves. Nature can be a gateway for a spiritual connection and/or a felt sense of inter-connectedness that is so needed in our modern times.
Annetta Olivieri
Director
An advocate for preserving Indigenous wisdom and cultural heritage, Annette spent 25 years as a fashion designer before her creative path shifted in 2014. She immersed herself in Indigenous traditions, learning from the Maya, Wixarika, Cofan, Huni Kuin, Kogi, and Lakota peoples. Driven by a mission to honor Indigenous knowledge, artistry, and healing practices, she delved into the Medicine Wheel, energy healing, and sound medicine. By 2017, her work expanded to include somatic movement, chakra harmonisation, and rituals. Through sound therapy, nature connection, and unity circles, Annette creates transformative experiences that foster self-love and balance for the mind, body, and spirit.
