Interview with Dr Rachel Sweeney, Schumacher College

In early March 2020 a group of MA Ecological Design Thinking students set off to Peru to work on a nature-based educational project that was being set up there by a former student at Schumacher College. As the global pandemic struck, those students were faced with a dilemma: should they stay on or return home? In this interview we speak to one of those students, George Heibel, who chose to stay on and who, upon finding a deep sense of belonging and purpose in the cloud forests above the Amazon, continues to live and work out there two years later.  Interview by Will Kemp.
