Dr Lindsay Branham is an environmental psychologist, Emmy-nominated film director and eco-doula. Her PhD research titled "The Body of the World" envisages co-created spaces of colonial resistance and imaginative fields for radical futurities between humans and the living world. Lindsay’s first book, Heartwood: The Wisdom and Healing Kinship of Trees (Hachette/2026) was praised by Richard Rohr as, “A gift to us all to widen our hearts with more love for this suffering world.” Heartwood invites readers into an embodied, reciprocal relationship with trees to heal our severed connection to ourselves and the Earth, returning home to the living world. Dharma Teacher Brother Spirit at Plum Village Monastery writes that Heartwood “restores our ability to hear and understand the language of the land.”

Lindsay is trained as a Buddhist eco-doula to provide spiritual support in climate collapse. She has studied wisdom and mindfulness traditions, including ecological animism, Mahayana Buddhism, mystical Christianity, embodiment, and conscious service. Lindsay is committed to the spiral-like relationship between personal and collective transformation and intersectional equity and justice. Her life mantra is Rilke’s poem I Live My Life in Widening Circles.
