Biophilic Design at Source - Sophie Lacey - BS072
Today we talk about mindful spaces and biophilic meditation with Sophie Lacey.
Sophie has been running her own freelance copywriting and content writing business for nearly 15 years, working with a variety of lifestyle brands and specialists in placemaking, the built environment, interior design and retail. Her half-Swedish heritage inspires a love of simple design and an affinity with nature and organic materials, colours and textures, while her diploma in meditation teaching gives her a unique perspective on mindful spaces, biophilic design and placemaking for wellbeing.
Sophie’s meditation and mindfulness teaching takes an unusually broad and non-affiliated approach, meaning students are encouraged to choose and adapt their practice according to need and preference. She uses her creative copywriting skills to devise engaging multi-sensory meditations, using her love of nature and spiritual ideas from across cultures to reconnect her students with their true selves in an effective and enjoyable way. In the spring and summer she leads meditation and forest bathing events at University of Oxford Botanic Garden & Arboretum.
