    Elinor Predota: Programme Director

    Elinor (variable pronouns) is the Founder and Programme Director of We Make The Path CIC.

     

    Elinor has a wide-ranging professional background in adult education, community development and youth work, organisational and business development, social research, creating ceremony and ritual, spiritual counselling, complementary therapies and storytelling.

     

    Elinor's own life with chronic illness has led them to bring all of that knowledge, skill and experience to bear on the issue of how chronically ill people can live more fulfilling lives, and make our contribution to the world.

     

    The things the Elinor gets excited about include dogs, plants, queer things, autonomy and consent, crip time, project planning, poetry, head canons, food, right relationship between self and community, including with other-than- and more-than-human beings, disrupting power-over, and creating the world we want now.
