Hello beautiful ones, and welcome back to The Becoming Podcast. Today on the show I am thrilled to introduce you to Ruth Allen.  I have been following (and loving) Ruth's work for a number of years, and I've absolutely loved her two books, Grounded and Weathering.  Her work and her writing has deeply shaped the way I think about the natural world and the way I move my body through it. Let me formally introduce Ruth: Ruth is a writer, embodied psychotherapist and facilitator working primarily outdoors in landscape, and online. Combining her background in geology, with innovative body-based and creative techniques drawing on a multitude of teachings and influences, she offers therapy, mentoring, workshops, classes and adventure retreats - all practical, slow magic - designed to help others connect with their bodies and the rest of nature through depth-full enquiry and practices that deepen our capacity to listen, for the greater whole-health of planet and people.   Some of the things Ruth and I talk about on the show are: > The resourcing we can access through witnessing the natural cycles and seasons of the natural world – and also how that is being impacted by climate change. > How to be in relationship with the earth as both a benevolent and even maternal entity – as well as one with the potential for destruction.  We talk about the parallels between the concepts of the "ever-giving mother" and the "ever-giving planet," and how both ideologies seem to make those who nurture us vulnerable to exploitation. > What we can learn from rocks as allies in times of change in our lives and in the collective.  Ruth talks about the concept of weathering and erosion as being inevitable parts of the process of growth and rising, both for ourselves and our rock kin. > The challenge of extending our ideas about animacy to the seemingly inanimate:  rocks.  Ruth beautifully hypothesizes that if we can see rock as kin and choose to be in a caring relationship with them, then we can see anyone as kin and care for them just the same. > How Ruth engages in reciprocity with the natural world. And truly, truly so much more!  If you're curious about how you might be in deeper connection with the living world and perhaps how that connection might support you through times of weathering in your life, this episode is for you.  

Manifesting: are you all for it? Or do you think it's a load of codswallop? “The Queen of Manifestation” Roxie Nafousi attracted big crowds to her live show in Dublin's Helix Theatre, so there must be something to it - right?Irish Independent Journalist Tessa Ndjonkou was there, and joined Andrea, along with Ruth Allen, Hypnotherapist and Hypno Psychotherapist and Dr Sabina Brennan, Psychologist and Neuroscientist to discuss.

Ruth Allen is an author, pyschotherapist and geologist. We talk to Ruth about her phenomenal book 'Weathering', about stones, about climate change, thresholds, healing and journeys through life. Ruth lives and works on the edge of the Peak District, Derbyshire, Ruth believes that we all have an ‘ecological self' that longs to be better connected to the natural world than many of us feel day-to-day Hosted by Stone Club co-founder Matthew Shaw

Ruth Allen is a British cyclist living here stateside in Atlanta, GA. She's entering her second season as a professional cyclist with the Goldman Sachs/ETFs NCL team after rehabbing from being struck by a motorist. Outside of cycling Ruth has dedicated her career to Greek and Roman art, where she holds a Ph.D, and is a curator at the Carlson Museum at Emory University. Let's not forget that she is a Cambridge Alum. We got pretty philosophical when we started dicussing art as a form of communication which makes this a very special episode. Enjoy!

“If health has stopped improving it is a sign that society has stopped improving.”These are the words of Professor Sir Michael Marmot in the report Health Equity in England: The Marmot Review 10 Years on.In this special episode of Let's Talk Social Work, made to celebrate World Social Work Day 2024, Andy McClenaghan and guests, Sir Michael Marmot and Dr Ruth Allen, explore how poverty, inequality and social disadvantage impact health outcomes, life expectancy and quality of life. Sir Michael is a world-renowned expert on public health, Director of the Institute for Health Equity and author of The Health Gap: the challenge of an unequal world, and Status Syndrome: how your place on the social gradient directly affects your health. Ruth is the Chief Executive of the British Association of Social Workers. Ruth has had a long career in the field of mental health social work and prior to joining BASW was Director of Social Work at South West London & St Georges' Mental Health NHS Trust.Although poverty is an issue that has been discussed a number of times on the podcast, as so many of the problems which social workers support people to address are rooted in or exacerbated by poverty, we haven't previously looked at the social determinants of health and the extent to which inequality affects health outcomes. There are no guests better placed to discuss the social determinants of health and their relevance to social work policy and practice. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Hello! When we hear about social workers it's usually because something terrible has happened. Social work is rightly subject to scrutiny, but why do we never hear about any of the good stuff? Despite operating in an under-resourced and bureaucratic system, social workers are helping individuals and families facing some of the toughest life circumstances, in the hope of creating a fairer and more prosperous society. We talk to Ruth Allen about the profession, to Ryan Wise who's trying to remove day-to-day barriers that social workers might face, and to Lisa Hackett about why we need to shift public perceptions of social workers and the job they do.GuestsRuth Allen, CEO, British Association of Social Workers (@ruthallenonline) (@BASW_UK)Ryan Wise, Co-founder, Crescendo (@ryanwise18)Lisa Hackett, Chief Social Worker, Frontline (@FrontlineSW)More info Learn more about the British Association of Social Workers' 80:20 CampaignIf you're a social worker, take BASW's annual survey of social workersRead more about the 15% solutions approach that Ryan discussesUnderstand more about CrescendoFind out information about Frontline, the England's largest social work charityThe campaign to get care experience designated a protected characteristic Hosted on Acast.

Part of this is embracing your wild side and all your emotions. Including the parts of you that feel unknown and unpredictable.

Has life ever dealt you a "wild card"? You're wandering through life, minding your own business, when a wild card is delivered right into your lap; an unexpected illness, a loss, a rejection. It could also be a positive too; an unexpected promotion, a lucky break, love at first sight. Nature is messy, imperfect, uncontrollable and unknowable. This is why "taking a walk on the wild side" can help. We're exploring ideas from author Ruth Allen to handle the wild-cards life chucks at us. LINKS ‘Grounded’ by Ruth Allen.

My latest guest on Floating: Swimming Stories is Ruth Allen. Ruth is an ecopsychotherapist and author based in Derbyshire. Her work in outdoor therapy has gained a huge following on Instagram (@whitepeak_ruth) and her first book, Grounded, is out in March 2021. Ruth and I spoke over Zoom in December 2020, discussing the transgressive power of water, its spiritual pull and the issues with the much–fabled 'nature cure'.

The benefits of being outdoors for our mental health and wellbeing have been discussed on the podcast a few times already. But this is a subject that is always worth revisiting. Especially when my guest’s impressive resume guarantees a fresh and well-developed approach. And so in this episode, our guest is Dr Ruth Allen, an outdoor and online counselling therapist, professional development coach, and experienced consultant, trainer and facilitator. During the podcast, we discuss the importance of connecting with nature, being comfortable with one’s own company and thoughts, dealing with negativity, the destructive effects of social media and the need to disconnect in today’s always-online world. http://whitepeakwellbeing.com/about

The Royal College of Midwives says that coronavirus may mean its staff have to work elsewhere in the NHS, rather than looking after pregnant women. Dr Mary Ross Davie explains the RCM's concerns. Social workers are trying to keep working safely and effectively despite restrictions around Covid-19. However, a survey by the British Associations of Social Workers says many haven't been given solid advice or the right personal protection equipment. Dr Ruth Allen, Chief Executive of the BASW, describes the challenges that social workers face right now. We hear from two healthcare workers who've cared for SARS patients and Ebola patients. How did they cope during those pandemics and what can we learn from them now? And Calamity Jane: you're probably thinking of Doris Day right now but Calamity Jane really did exist in real-life. Professor Karen R. Jones from the University of Kent tells us how an American called Martha Jane Canary was the real Calamity Jane.

Dr. Ruth Allen is an Outdoor Therapist, Psychotherapist and Counsellor based in the Uk. In our current life adaptations with all things Corona Virus related, we chatted about how to support our mental wellbeing. This conversation was a sweet relief from news headlines, and I feel it will provide some great insights for you the listener and how we can navigate these times. Ruth is a wonderfully articulate and experienced therapist, and I am delighted we got to schedule this in admist these chaotic days. The episode notes and links can be accessed on www.elemenstyoga.ie Enjoy listening:-)

Psychotherapist, Dr. Ruth Allen, explains how outdoor counselling works. She takes Clare Balding on a walk near Kelstedge in Derbyshire to discuss the healing power of walking & talking. In this series of Ramblings, Clare Balding is exploring the impact that walking in nature can have on our inner lives. She’s been up Glastonbury Tor with Druids, walked the Wilberforce Way with a Methodist minister, been on retreat in Winchester and rambled across the Malverns with the Herefordshire Interfaith Group.

Outdoor therapist Dr. Ruth Allen invites us to break through the walls of traditional therapy to be a more active participant in the healing process and seek out euphoria in the outdoors. (Read the full article on The Outdoor Journal).Who among us hasn't felt stuck at some point in their life? Without forward momentum, we begin to slowly sink and become vulnerable to the grips of anxiety and depression that reach out to grab us from just below the visible surface of everyday life. We get wound up in ruminating thought patterns and mental scripts that we repeatedly tell ourselves. “Maybe I'm just not good enough...Maybe I deserve to suffer.” Yet, when we seek help in traditional therapy, we find ourselves further trapped, our problems are sealed off in a doctor's office. We sit in our problems, motionless, static. Outdoor therapist Ruth Allen guides her clients to break through these four walls and move past periods of stuckness by connecting with nature.For more stories like this, visit The Outdoor Journal.And if you'd like to go on your own adventure to Ethiopia's highest mountain range, check out our hiking package in Simien National Park on The Outdoor Voyage.

Alys grew up in deepest rural England, but for years has lived in Birmingham. She loves the city, and her small garden and allotment, but is starting to feel a pull to return to her roots. But should she? If she does, will the countryside offer her what she feels is missing from her life, a deeper connection with nature, or does the city provide all she needs? Producer: Karen Gregor

She is also an organisational trainer, endurance runner and mountain addict. Last year Ruth ran the entire 350 km length of Bosnia and Herzegovina across the mountains.

In this episode, we talk about Ruth's trek, the existential doubt that resides somewhere underneath our self-doubt, the importance of ritual for integrating our experiences. And the dance between the numinous transcendent moments and the mostly mundane aspects of our everyday human existence.

As an indoor and outdoor counselor and coach, and as an outdoor enthusiast herself, Ruth shares her wisdom on how to chill out to hear your inner voice, how to use nature to be more playful, the importance of silence, how to bring the outdoors in, balancing nature and technology, and how to honor and listen to the enticing call of the outside world. www.whitepeakwellbeing.com Insta: @whitepeak_ruth

Social workers and care in the community Social workers have a crucial part to play in improving mental health services and mental health outcomes for citizens. They bring a distinctive social and rights-based perspective to their work. Their advanced relationship-based skills, and their focus on personalisation and recovery, can support people to make positive, self-directed change. Social workers are trained to work in partnership with people using services, their families and carers, to optimise involvement and collaborative solutions. Like community psychiatric nurses, social workers also manage some of the most challenging and complex risks for individuals and society, and take decisions with and on behalf of people within complicated legal frameworks, balancing and protecting the rights of different parties. This includes, but is not limited to, their vital role as the core of the Approved Mental Health Professional (AMHP) workforce. Social workers are central to the holistic, individualised treatment available to sufferers from mental disorders, which epitomises the goals of modern healthcare provision. Dr Ruth Allen, Chief Executive, British Association of Social Workers
