She has a Substack where she posts her thoughts on various aspects of collapse and recovery. Prints of Susan's artwork are available at FineArtAmerica. Email Susan.
Matthew Painton
Matthew’s lifelong environmentalism and social activism did not prepare him for the sudden collapse awareness that completely unravelled him in 2017. Since then he has been working closely with fellow coaches, therapists, facilitators and educators to upgrade our sensemaking practices in order to help others get to grips with what is transpiring on earth and to respond with virtue. He coaches Deep Adaptation and full-spectrum sensemaking one-to-one and in groups, does photography to transmute his anxiety into beauty, and lives in the UK. Email Matthew.
Julie Smith
As a child, Julie Smith was drawn to nature thanks to her camping and gardening parents. She has a bachelors in natural resources, an MBA, and worked for environmental organizations. Her later education culminated in two research doctorates both involving human online communications. Throughout her life she understood collapse from her father's scientifically-based predictions. After he passed, she was relieved to find others in the online world who were also collapse aware and accepting. She hopes her volunteer efforts will help her and others connect and cope in these fragile times.
