Basecamp crew- your guides
Dan Burgess
Guide, Catalyst, Artist, Creative Activist
I’m drawn to spaces which encourage depth, open-ness, care and connection. As a DJ, facilitator of co-creation processes, and holding spaces for change, I’ve learned much about cultivating conditions for regeneration.
I trust in inquiry-led, action learning and practice building.
Over the last 12 years I have gone deep into personal transformation and my own rewilding, learning from many wise teachers, including Chris Salisbury/Call of the Wild, Bayo Akomolafe/We Will Dance With Mountains, and a wide range of faculty at Schumacher College where I was a visiting teacher.
I’m part of the Kincentric leadership community and I’m fortunate to continue to expand my perspectives through deepening my relationship to the landscapes around me and through hosting amazing humans on The Spaceship Earth Podcast.
Evva Semenowicz
Facilitator, creative, movement practitioner
I work from a place of deep intuition, weaving pathways of belonging in groups, helping others connect to their own inner knowing.
My practice is rooted in a desire to co-create spaces that allow us to step into a sense of interdependence and deep connection; harnessing the incredible wisdom contained in our bodies & our imagination.
I have over 10 years of experience in creative strategy & designing experiences for nurturing collective creativity and imagination.
I have trained with and have been learning from many, including Change in Nature, Open Edge Foundation and The Embodiment Institute, The Kali Collective & Bristol Yoga Roots Project.
Mark Sears
Nature inspired facilitator, wild guide, storyteller and soulful activist.
My work weaves together creative activism, participatory design and emergent strategy with nature-based practice, deep ecology and storytelling. Over the last 10 years I have been exploring how these ideas might begin to reanimate the relationship we have with the living earth to support a rebellion of the heart for us as individuals and in the cultures we create in these mysterious times. I have been influenced by numerous guides, teachers and learning experiences including Chris Salisbury from WildWise (Call of the Wild & Tending the Green Fire), Dr Martin Shaw (West Country School of Myth and Story) and Annie Bloom (Buffalo Dreaming Lodge). I am a carrier of Council having trained with Pip Bondy of Ancient Healing Ways, I bring this ancient and powerful form of space-holding into my work to deepen our experience and build community.
What others say about Community Solo
“A profound and nourishing experience generously hosted and facilitated by Evva, Mark and Dan with beauty, insight and love.”
Ann Weber Carlsen
“It's the space I've been looking for to feel, reflect, connect and hibernate. Community Solo, for me, has revealed strength in community, nature, and being. It's amplified my innate craving to become a human being, not a human doing, and has led me to a collective heartbeat.”
Amelia Crew
“Dan, Evva, and Mark very gently guide us down into the soul. Into a place where we can meet each other in authenticity, care, and attention. A much needed, slow space full of magic; a beautiful clearing in the woods.”
