Blurb from the Tariki Trust:

Harriet Sams Harriet Sams is an archaeologist, ecotherapist, freelance lecturer, yoga teacher and spiritual Guide for the Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids, mother and student.

From a very young age, Harriet has been in close connection to the landscape; especially to ancestral messages that are all around us, written onto the landscape. On rare occasions, the Voice of the world speaks to her and calls her into Service and Harriet interprets these messages as the voice of the ecological Whole; indivisible between human ancestor and landscape, all speaking with one voice. Through this awareness, she has realised that the land itself is where the healing resides. Harriet’s work is all about helping participants to directly access the healing the land/ancestors can bring the individual, working as facilitator for this awareness and guide for support.

Druidry and Quakerism guide her work; aspects of these spiritual traditions weave themselves into her teachings and offerings.

She is currently undertaking a PhD in archaeotherapy with Bournemouth University, is on the advisory Boards for the Climate Psychology Alliance and for Radical Joy for Hard Times, an eco-spirituality charity.
