ABOUT THE FOUNDER
LEAH BLACK
Leah has always felt like an explorer by soul, with a true passion for global cultures past & present, Nature, wilderness immersion and seeking purpose. Originally from Wirral UK, she now lives in the vast & mysterious mountains of Northern Spain. She grew up inspired by an array of spiritual and psychic mentors and her mum, who, having practiced the I-Ching Chinese Oracle for 45 years, shared her wisdom with Leah. Leah has felt, her whole life, that her purpose is to help others to find their own sense of purpose. Leah is passionate about "purpose", youthful energy and enthusiasm & learning from global traditional wisdom keepers; including trees & stone with an open mind & heart.
In search of her dreams, Leah volunteered long-term overseas in Ecuador, Zambia, Uganda and Kenya, living in large cities like Kampala and Guayaquil and remote rural areas too. Community capacity building, wildlife conservation & life purpose coaching and mentoring are her core career areas. On days off she explores ancient sites, gets lost in mountains and forests, sleeps alone under the stars and photographs Nature's beauty. A life-changing accident in Leah's early 20s shifted her away from her original dream job working in Nature reserves... An unexpected plot twist! As she turns 40, in April 2023, Leah feels she's entering the initiation stage of her life; into autumn, shedding old ways to make space for new growth!
