The Universe gave me a pretty amazing housemate. Phillipa Attwood, aka Pippa, and I crossed paths by living Templo Lila, our lovely home in Santa Teresa, Costa Rica. One thing that I’ve learned about this community is you never know who’s right in front of you.
Getting to know Pippa has been a great joy of mine. I’ve learned so much from her in the short time that we have lived together. What has been most apparent to me is her deep love for nature.
As someone who grew up with the value-system of western society deeply embedded in him, I used to arrogantly relate to people, that in my condescending view seemed crazy about nature, as “tree-huggers”. And by that we meant hippy, airy-fairy people that seemed not to have a solid grasp on reality.
Well not only have I now hugged trees myself, but Pippa couldn’t be any further away from that stereo-type. She’s one of the most down-to-Earth women I know, with her feet entirely planted on the ground.
In this episode Pippa talks about how she went from working for one of the UK’s biggest infrastructure firms as a business strategist, to then pursuing a deep desire she felt to connect further with nature after climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro. She also shares about what she learned from five long periods of time living in the Amazon Rain Forest, Ayahuasca, living with the indigenous tribes of the Huni-Kuin and the Yawanawa.
She now supports indigenous led projects in land regeneration, agro-forestry, and music production through her non-profit organization Futuro Nativo.
