Deborah Benham

I use inter-disciplinary and experiential practices to support creativity, collaboration and empowerment. My work is in service to regeneration and positive change for individuals, communities and nature more widely. I offer a broad range of skills and practices including:

• Living Systems based design for ecological and social regeneration
• Community building, regenerative culture design, and paradigm shift
• Peacebuilding and conflict resilience
• Organisational development, social enterprise
• Shared governance (sociocracy & holacracy) & distributed leadership
• Stakeholder engagement and co-creative group processes
• Deep nature connection
• Transformative environmental education
• Ecological restoration & ecological design

I have been an ecologitst for 25 years and a trainer for 17 years, including being accredited with Gaia Education, the National Association for Interpretation and 8 Shields. Since 2019 I have also been a staff member at Transition Network so am embedded in the Transition movement, it’s principles and practices.
