Helen has extensive experience in leading writing workshops within continuing education, schools and community arts programmes. In 2014 she is working as poet-in-residence for the Bristol Pound, a local currency designed to build resilience within the city’s local economy.

In developing a new artistic sensibility in response to ecocide, Helen has explored other art forms too. In 2011 she directed the Web of Life Community Art Project to raise awareness of mass extinction. Her hymn ‘glory be to Gaia’ was set to music by Guy Wilson and sung by a massed choir in Winchester Cathedral as part of a concert responding to the cathedral’s ‘Futures of Capitalism’ 2014 programme. ‘Greenspin’, a video-poem made with film-maker Howard Vause, exposes the language of corporate advertising and ‘greenwashing’, and won 3rd prize in the Liberated Words International Poetry Film Festival in 2013.
