About Wendy:
Wendy Wuyts ( instagram @wereldwoud ) is an eco-communicator, a certified forest bathing guide, an academic researcher in environmental science, and writer. She has worked for television and documentary houses, has been writing blogs for Mo * Magazine since 2016 and has already published two fiction books herself: 'Als Meubels Konden Speken' and ' the white dream '. In the writers academy she is working on a third book project.
Roots and sense of belonging have been a major theme in her projects for almost fifteen years: as a geographer, she studies the importance of place in our well-being.
She is also a serial rooter: she has rooted in various places in the world, received many of those stories of deeper rooted beings in that place, and also given something back. In countries such as the Czech Republic, Japan, Norway and the USA she has built up experience and knowledge in ecolinguistics, ecopsychology, natural philosophy, deep ecology, ecofeminism, intersectional environmentalism and change management.
She works as a volunteer, sometimes in tractor roles
