55: Feminine Leadership with Clare Dubois of Treesisters

Welcome to a special episode of Unclassified Woman today with the
inspiring Clare Dubois.

Clare is the founder of TreeSisters, which is a feminine
nature-based organisation inspiring the world’s women to take
shared leadership around tropical reforestation.


TreeSisters reflects Clare’s exploration of the links between
feminine consciousness and nature’s intelligence. She and her
team experiment overtly to figure out how to call forth the
unique capacities and creativity of women on behalf of trees.
They aim to be funding ONE MILLION trees per month by the end of
2017!


Clare is known for her direct catalytic energy, her whole systems
approach to behavioural change and her unending loyalty and
love for the natural world. 


There is only one truth - and that is our indivisibility from
nature - Clare Dubois


For two decades, Clare created behavioural change processes
within the personal growth and social change sectors and
volunteered for three years as the UK coordinator for a massive
agro-forestry initiative in southern India called Project
Greenhands. Her aim in life is to reclaim balance, rediscover
freedom and health, and to be walking permission for those who
are fed up with being held back and just want to “have a
go.”

I believe that Clare is a great example of this and a role model
for us all. She’s someone who has thrown herself into her life
mission, and for me, she explains eloquently how female
leadership and eco-revolution are a natural partnership.


 


"I had a complete mind-bending experience realising the
depth of ecological destruction that we’re in. I knew it was bad,
but I had an educational experience that floored me. I knew I had
to do something." Clare Dubois

Cooling the planet by reforesting: all because of CO2

The Amazon rainforest: it’s the size of the moon, but 40%
degraded;

The rising and falling of water vapour: the heartbeat of the
forest that has disrupted the rainfall;

Things that happen because of trees:



Trees absorb CO2 and trap the heat that causes global
warming.

If the trees aren’t there, the CO2 dissolves in the
oceans and harms the food chain there.

We need kelp and trees because they are most effective at
sequestering carbon.



Why we need to reduce dependence on fossil fuels;

Why staying plugged into technology means you can’t listen to
your intuition;

Clare’s 9-day nature awakening trip and its benefits and

Humanity is running out of time, but it’s not over yet. It’s
going to take everyone rising to the challenge to get through
what is coming. "The single greatest threat facing humanity is
fear of failure, but you can call everything you do 'an
experiment'. You can’t fail at an experiment; you can only
learn."
