Ella

I am an advocate for planetary and social wellbeing. At the moment I work specifically in youth advocacy for nature and young people’s wellbeing in educational environments. My life is spent in dedication to fostering a peaceful, harmonious human presence on Earth, one where all can thrive and love permeates all.

A reflection on the theme: 'Towards a Loving World, Leadership and Governance for Well-Being'.

Moving towards a loving world requires each of us to embody love, peace and compassion. This can be encouraged by leaders who embody these values and lead by example creating effective action and building a kinder world. Leadership and governance can be beautiful things, inspiring all to live fully and create a socially and environmentally just world. This world is possible and within reach. It will need healthy and loving systems, education and individuals, and a foundational understanding that we are all deeply connected. Many of the ideas that we need are found in the wisdom of idigenous and spiritual leaders of old and new. My life has taught me that truly, love must come first.

What motivates you to participate in the SoH Forum?
The hopes of the SoH Forum are very noble and respectable and very aligned with my own. I think it is of the utmost importance to have a myriad of voices and opinions and so I hope to provide a voice for some. Within this it is essential to have young people speaking and I am glad to be able to help with that. If the world is to transform into an environmentally sustainable, spiritually fulfilling, socially just world where we all thrive, we need conferences like this one to share opinions and progress. It is essential to disseminate information and the SoH Forum feels like a good way to do this. I deeply believe in the importance of love and feel the SoH forum do too.
