Caroline welcomes Andreas Kornevall, prodigiously cultivated author, storyteller and ecological activist.He grew up in South America, Sweden and Switzerland, and now directs the Earth Restoration Service Charity, which aims to enhance ecological integrity by planting new woodlands around the world. Over a thousand schools across the British Isles have signed up and with their students have planted over two hundred woodlands. In response to the ongoing sixth mass extinction, he was the catalyst behind the Life Cairn movement: memorials for species rendered extinct at human hands. As a storyteller, he works with old myths and fairytales which shine a torchlight on life’s journey; his stories tend to gravitate around the Norse material which have led him to lecture and perform in universities and other educational centres.
He is also a prize-winning author, whose work has been published in magazines such as Resurgence, The Ecologist, Permaculture magazine and in the Dark Mountain series. He is a member of the ‘Forn Sed’ (Old Customs Association) in Sweden which works closely with ancient Norse culture, traditions and spirituality, unearthing old legends, forgotten folklore and endangered Norse languages. Through his charity he has planted over 200 woodlands in the United Kingdom and he has recently been voted by the University of Southern California as one of their 100 spiritual exemplars.
