Hannah Perkins
Hannah Perkins discovered mindfulness as an antidote to the stress of working with various environmental campaigns: UNDP, Greenpeace (Southeast Asia) and Resurgence and Ecologist Magazine (UK). She took up regular meditation, because she noticed it made her day better and helped to recognise the vicious spiral of negative and anxious thoughts that she often found herself in.
But it wasn’t until she was diagnosed with cancer, at age 29, she discovered the incredible healing potential of her body-heart-mind. She turned towards the pain, grief and uncertainty of illness, embarking on a journey of ‘radical self care’ and learning to be in her body ‘exactly as it is’.
