Brittany Jane Laidlaw is a Somatic Ecologist, Rewilding Mentor, and Accredited Wayapa Practitioner with over 11 years of experience leading embodied nature-connection programs.
Britt is currently completing a pioneering PhD in eco-somatics where her research explores ways of relating to and restoring living ecologies through the body. She has worked closely with the Peek Whuurrung Maara people (Indigenous community in Victoria, Australia) to bring this knowledge into academia, and has received numerous awards for her unique leadership in socio-ecological regeneration, including the inaugural Westpac Future Leaders Award, and Prime Minister's Endeavour Award.
Britt also holds a Masters of Environment in Somatic Ecology, and various certifications in rewilding, permaculture, village building, and the women’s mysteries.
Today, Britt offers various programs that specifically focus on midwifing the dormant potential within women by re-membering the wild feminine. Her work guides women through The EARTHED Framework, an experiential map for conversing with the body, soul, and nature, based on her PhD research.
The framework integrates comprehensive knowledge from somatics, neuroscience, ecology, and mythology, as well as first-hand experience with Indigenous knowledge keepers and world-renowned experts within the rewilding movement.
In our conversation together, we talk about:
➳ Eco-somatics - it’s roots in Deep Ecology, animism and the somatic approach to the body as a source of wisdom
➳ The EARTHED Framework as a pathway to ‘coming home’ and conversing with body, soul and nature
➳ What it really means to live with Purpose
➳ Death as the greatest experience of belonging (and Britt’s experience on a solo camping trip that cracked her open)
➳ The 4 ancestral skills to learn within the sacred order of survival
➳ Why fire-making is the most powerful skill women learn within Britt’s rewilding programs
➳ Your relationship to light as an eco-somatic practice of earth connection and belonging as well as personal vitality
