LEAH BLACK

Hello, I'm Leah. I've worked in Nature connection and people development for 22-years. And, since I was a very young child I've been fascinated by two things: spirituality and wildlife. As a teen I studied Animal Care instead of A-levels in hope that I'd be able to rehabilitate wild animals across the world, and at the same time I trained as a medium to try to understand my spiritual sensitivity; neither routes materialised into careers, though, but I did become a wildlife conservationist, bat ecologist, eco-consciousness thought leader and a youth and community worker. You can read my green spiritual story on the website of GreenSpirit; an organisation I'm a proud Trustee of. My current interest focuses on the human hidden senses, traditional ecological knowledge, ancient religions and evolution of spiritual and mystical experiences in Nature and sacred places. I'm a solitude wanderer, animist, seer and a journey-teller by soul living in an isolated spot of Asturias. Read about my qualifications, career, etc. below.
