Ceri Buckmaster is a group facilitator, mediator and writer. She works in Sustainability and Community building with organisations, museums, galleries, schools, community groups and individuals. Her work facilitates clear and transparent interpersonal communication, greater understanding of trauma and the walking towards and holding of conflicts with presence and opening for transformation.
In her work, she accompanies people to walk towards the things they most want to avoid; conflict, trauma, grief, loss, fear. We now know that the brain is hardwired to respond to the experience of being accompanied with empathy and resonance and she works with this to calm down the limbic alarm system and patterns of reactivity. We ARE made to be accompanied. It is so much harder to deal with conflict and heal from trauma alone.
She is currently working on increasing space for sharing grief and loss, and working towards suicide prevention. She also supports people from across the spectrum of relationship / sexuality orientation and preferences to create more robust relationships based on transparency, openness, and mutual care. All her work promotes self-care, care for the other, and care for ‘us’ and our environment.
In 2015, she trained in Repairing Childhood Pain and Trauma with Sarah Peyton and Susan Skye (Munich, Germany). and she is participating in ongoing training in Interpersonal Neurobiology with Sarah Peyton. In 2013, she participated in the Leadership programme in Nonviolent Communication, San Francisco, California. She participated in the Diploma in Group facilitation and conflict resolution at the NAOS Institute, London. in 2015/2016.
She has been running the Invisible Food project in London since 2008, a project commissioned originally by Artangel as part of an investigation into Temporary Automonous Zones (TAZ). Invisible Food aims to reconnect Londoners to nature, to each other and to themselves. She published Street Food: Urban foraging and world food in 2013.
Together with Virginia Nimarkoh, she developed the Cook like a Caribbean project, showing global and historical influences on Caribbean food, at Myatt’s Fields Park. (2014)
In 2006, she participated in The Body Politic, an interdisciplinary training in Arts, Activism and Social and Ecological justice run by Platform at Birkbeck College. Participation in this course led her to set up Invisible Food.
As a writer, Ceri explores how stories can respond to economic, spiritual and environmental crises. Her goal is to nurture into being supportive, aspiring communities through creative practice and non violence.
