Gwyneth Jones | Ancestors and Wounded Landscapes: Harriet Sams, Radical Joy for Hard Times. The Story Anew 21 @gwynethjones8292 | Uploaded December 2021 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
Harriet Sams is an archaeologist, ecotherapist, freelance lecturer, yoga teacher, spiritual Guide and member of 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. Please see radicaljoy.org
She occasionally writes a blog at nwyfre.com about ecotherapeutic motherhood, amongst other things.

The Story Anew is a podcast and video series in which we'll meet amazing people from all over the world who are working to redefine the dominant narrative of our times - that of infinite growth and consumption. These are the people working towards what Joanna Macy calls The Great Turning - the shifting of our Industrial Growth Society, which prioritises infinite growth over life - to a Life Sustaining Society.
The people you'll meet are working in regeneration, activism, systems design, permaculture, trauma healing, decolonisation, climate change and generally working to fundamentally change the way we do things as a species so that we can live on this planet more harmoniously with our fellow beings and become good ancestors.
