Gill Coombs is a writer, coach, and facilitator. Her approach is rooted in her own long, colourful journey towards fulfilling work. In 2010, Gill left a corporate Learning and Development career to travel around the country on foot and public transport, leading workshops for communities on living in harmony with self, people and planet. She is now an elder visionary with Extinction Rebellion and her own experiences of street-level non violent direct action led to the writing of her newly updated, and newly re-published book, 'The Trembling Warrior: A Guide for Reluctant Activists" - building on interviews and conversations with activists of all kinds, she has created a resource for anyone involved in action of any sort - direct or indirect. With her help, we find the levels of activism that feel safe for us, learn how to build tribe and -crucially -learn how to resource ourselves, to avoid burnout and breakdown so common in the progressive activist movement. In this podcast, we explore, deepen and expand on the themes of the book, to create our own resource for Trembling Warriors.
