Alan Heeks

Alan Heeks is a wellbeing expert and author who had a successful business career before following a wild impulse and starting an organic farm from scratch, with zero experience. This baptism by mud showed him how organic methods can help us cultivate our human nature too: for example, nourishing our roots, composting stress as a source of energy, and co-creative problem-solving.

His Natural Happiness approach has helped him through his life crises, and his new book, Natural Happiness: Use Organic Gardening Skills to Cultivate Yourself, has grown from the many workshops he has led for individuals, community groups, and NHS doctors.
