WHAT IS CONSCIOUS ROOTS?
Conscious Roots offer the wisdom of community, gardening, wild food foraging and radical remembering for the creation of abundant, healthy communities, ecosystems and bodies. We work with a bio-regional lens, creating a world where simple, local-living thrives, reuniting the needs of humans and the earth.
My current work on grief and symbolic imagination now continues at my new site, benstopford.org
Who Am I?
I am Ben Stopford, a group facilitator & psychotherapist living in Eryri (Snowdonia), North Wales.
I hold a PGDip in Sustainable Food & Natural Resources & a BA in Philosophy, Religion and Spanish and am in the process of a Msc in Psychotherapy, working with a Jungian lens with meaning crisis, identity transitions, psycho-spiritual maturation and integration.
My group work stems from 'The Work That Reconnects', contemporary Rites of Passage (wilderness fast) and depth ecopsychology.
I facilitate programmes in Deep Ecology & Bioregionalism, all guided by a deep-rooted, nature-based philosophy.
You can learn more about my depth-oriented psychotherapy work by visiting benstopford.org
I also love to play fiddle, hike, wild swim & read. You can listen to me discuss bioregional life-ways in a podcast episode with Rooted Healing here.
