ABOUT DEBORAH RICHMOND
I work with systems — health, family, land and organisations
Since 2013, I've been carrying systems work — first through organisations, then land, then family, then with health challenges. Same underlying approach: find the pattern beneath the surface story, then allow the conditions for the system to reorganise itself. My process and approach is unique to me based on my own personal journey, work and trainings.
My career started in advertising — creating stories for brands across multiple markets. Since then I've trained in yoga (the science of our mind, not bendy postures), indigenous traditions and constellation work. I've worked across very different systems — social change projects, mental health, education, prisons, schools, corporates, environmental movements and family. Different contexts, same patterns.
I have been a land guardian since 2017 of Quinta das Abelhas, a 10 hectare biodiversity project in the mountains of central Portugal. I am slowly watching a once abandoned pine monoculture land return to a biodiverse mixed forest — it feels like my living art. Bird life is incredible, the stars with no light pollution just make me smile and I am in constant awe of the other species. I have trained in rewilding, permaculture, food forests and water management. Yet the land became my real teacher - observing what nature does itself.
This led me to starting a series of conversations called Down at the Dolmen — a few minutes' walk from my land stands a dolmen, thousands of years old. Around the world these mysterious sites exist, the pyramids the ones most talked of. I go to these places to ask questions with curious people.
