Sophy Banks

Sophy Banks is a systems explorer. Her eclectic life has seen her as a therapist, family constellator, radical footballer, environmental activist, engineer, grief tender, teacher... and more.

Sophy is deeply committed to seeing how human systems work, linking understandings from neuroscience and trauma work with concepts of power and oppression, group dynamics and processes of change. She spent 10 years holding the inner dimension at the centre of the Transition movement, giving workshops in this model for growing community resilience to groups around the world. Her lifetime questions include things like - "How can we create healthy cultures, and why do we often not? What does our relationship to grief and healing have to do with whether we co-create cultures of regeneration or harm?" Sophy lives in Devon, UK, where she grows as much food as she can and still just about gets up the hills on her bike.
