======Protecting Life======
I feel deep gratitude for the welcome I received from the forest of Les Guilleries. It is the forest which
surrounds the La Fradera Centre, where the association {{button class="new-window" link="https://www
.transalquimia.org/" nobtn="1" text="Transalquimia" title="Transalquimia"}} propose Deep Ecology workshops
of many kinds.

In 2021 I did my first //Work That Reconnects// workshop there: //La Espiral del Tiempo Profundo//. The
following summer I experienced the deep inner renewal of a //Vision Quest//. In the autumn another //Work
That Reconnects// workshop called //El Consejo de los Seres de la Naturaleza//. And finally the training
to be a facilitator of the //work That Reconnects//, led by {{button class="new-window" link="http
://roseaux-dansants.org/" nobtn="1" text="Roseaux Dansants" title="Roseaux Dansants"}} in partnership with
Transalquimia.
This forest is in grave danger from a project to install 37 high-tension electricity pylons, despite European
Commission directives to protect many species and habitats which will be endangered by the plan, a scheme
that is totally inappropriate for the real needs.
With a team of fellow facilitators, we made a first call-to-action film to help draw attention to the need to
defend the fragilised ecosystems of this forest. We are currently working on a second film.
Please, if you feel drawn to do so, watch the film linked in below, share it and sign the petition indicated
at the end of the video.
If you wish to help us defending this precious forest, let me know! Video editing, composing, sound designing
, animation and many other skills are most welcome on upcoming projects.
Thank you in advance for the forest.
The film exists in English, French, Spanish and Catalan.

protecting the forest of Les Guilleries in Spain.
