Who we are:

Lead Guide and Abbess of the Northern School of Soulmaking in Nature

Alexandra is most at home on a rock face, in the mountains or in deep, heartful communion with soulful kin. She is a transpersonal and somatic therapist, a seasoned group facilitator, and a learning designer whose work is rooted in the sacred interplay between psyche, body, and Earth.

Trained in psychosynthesis psychology, Alex is the author of an emerging body of work known as Eco-Psychosynthesis—a soul-centered practice discovered through nine years of exploration and pilgrimage with her first soulmaking venture, Wild Rites. She is rooted in Jungian dream and somatic body work and is trauma trained.

At the Northern School of Soulmaking in Nature, Alex serves as Abbess—a tongue in cheek title that speaks to her role as visionary, psycho-spiritual director, ritualist, and experiential learning designer. She holds the vision, the means, and the ways of soulmaking here, weaving together the threads of training, ceremony, rites of passage, and communitas into offerings that are wild, warm and reverent. Her work is deeply collaborative, supported by a devoted team without whom none of this would be possible.

Alex lives in the English Lake District, where the land itself is a beloved teacher. She travels far and wide in search of soulful experience and kinship with human and more-than-human alike.

Lead Guide, Prioress and Companion at the Threshold

Fifi is a lead guide here at Soulmaking in Nature. She is a leadership coach, learning designer, and adventurer of the inner and outer worlds. With a presence that is both steady and spacious, she walks alongside individuals and groups as they navigate the thresholds of change, identity, and becoming.

Drawing on a rich background in executive coaching, organisational development, and wild nature practice, plus guiding wilderness rites of passage, Fi invites those she works with to find their own voice, their own rhythm, and their own way of showing up in the world.

Fi’s way is relational and integrative, weaving together psychological insight, embodied awareness, and the wisdom of the land. Whether guiding you through transitions or holding space for those -in-training, she brings sensitivity, courage, and colour to every encounter.

A former entrepreneur and elected councillor, Fi now brings her full self to the work of soul-aligned development. She a member of the EMCC, and holds an MSc in Executive Coaching.
