Ben Stopford

Ben is a gardener and gatherer living in the heart of Snowdonia, North Wales. He holds a PGDip in Sustainable Food and Natural Resources and a BA in Philosophy, Religion and Spanish. He is presently studying RHS Level 2 & Folk Herbalism. His group work stems from 'The Work That Reconnects' and contemporary rites of passage (vision quest), where he undertook two trainings in the art of facilitation for transformation. He now facilitates programmes in nature connection, foraging & wild-cultured gardening, all guided by a deep-rooted, nature-based philosophy. Ben will be guiding us on a folkloric foraging immersion, where we will contribute our findings to the hearth to feast together.
