Lorna Howarth - Advisory Board
Lorna Howarth is Co-editor and Director of Resurgence, the magazine "at the heart of earth, art and spirit", and the UK's longest-running environmental magazine. Resurgence is at the cutting-edge of new thinking on issues such as deep ecology, sustainability, reverence for Gaia and non-violent conflict resolution. Lorna writes widely on subjects such as slow food, wild gardening and complimentary therapies, and has been published in many magazines and newspapers. Most recently she contributed to a new book on eco-tourism, called Green Places to Stay.
Prior to editing Resurgence, Lorna was Editor of Positive News and Living Lightly magazine, both of which focus on reducing our ecological footprint. She also worked at Green Books, Schumacher Society UK and taught IT at The Small School, an independent secondary school offering a holistic approach to education.
Lorna worked with APE Founder, Kenny Young at Earth Love Fund during the mid-90s, promoting the album releases on behalf of the charity.
Lorna is a Trustee of The Yarner Trust, a small charity in North Cornwall dedicated to the theory and practice of sustainable living, which holds courses on straw-bale building, rainwater harvesting, permaculture, hedgelaying, cob-building and much more. She believes the dissemination of these skills will compliment the transition to a more sustainable lifestyle.
Lorna's most recent collaboration is with The Alliance for New Humanity, headed by Deepak Chopra, which is dedicated to communicating the reality of humanity's interconnectedness and positive potential, through it's new e-newsletter. In conjunction with the Inter Press Service and Resurgence, The Alliance for New Humanity brings together stories about "change agents" who are actively making a difference to their communities and their world by practicing the way of peace and sustainability.
Lorna is passionate about the planet. She has committed herself to living a low-carbon lifestyle. She lives on a smallholding in Devon with her partner, where they grow most of their own fruit and vegetables and coppice willow and ash for fuel. |
