  • Emily Graves

    Emily is the creator of Wild Joy, creatively weaving loving, wild and joyful experiences from forest floors to studio walls. Creating space for you to be led by your inner wisdom, to hear the whispering of the trees, to feel the kiss of the rain, and the earth beneath your feet, Emily believes that nature helps us rediscover the wisdom we hold within ourselves.

    Emily believes that joy exists everywhere. Whether through noticing the miracle of breathing or birdsong. Or coming home to ourselves through movement and meditation.

    From online playful movement practices to seasonal day retreats and longer 're-wilding retreats', Emily is one of nature’s most humble guides, leading you home to the limitless flow of wild joy within and all around. 

    Emily is a communications consultant and copy writer, scribing words that heal. She’s also a storyteller, yoga teacher, wild guide and Trainee Mountain Leader.
