From disarmament
to Nature Diplomat
“As a former intelligence analyst specializing in the nonproliferation of weapons of mass destruction and international conflict resolution, my goal is to redefine peace-building through innovative approaches like ‘Nature Diplomacy.’ These vital alternatives return power to individuals and communities, enabling them to build sustainable peace from the ground up.
My personal transformation began in the ancient redwood forests of California, where, for four years, I returned time and time again to spend four days and nights immersed in silence, stripped of modern comforts—no food, no shelter. In the raw and elemental embrace of the forest, I uncovered powerful truths in solitude and stillness.
Now with over a decade of experience producing international retreats and summits for organizations such as the United Nations, higher education institutions, and leaders in the defense and space industries, my work reflects my unwavering commitment to peace and love for nature.”
Game-Changing Conversations
"CAN FOREST IMMERSIONS SHAPE THE FUTURE OF DIPLOMACY?"
Let’s reimagine peace-building. Traditional peace talks happen at negotiation tables, but what if lasting peace begins in nature? This keynote introduces “Nature Diplomacy,” an innovative framework using forest immersions to foster trust, collaboration, and reconciliation at different levels—from international relations to community healing. By shifting from reactive conflict resolution to proactive peace cultivation, we can unlock a radically effective approach to building peace.
Backed by growing research, forest immersions offer a powerful new path to peace, with the potential to transform diplomacy, leadership, and society at large. This talk inspires us to rethink conflict and embrace a fresh model of reconciliation that blends nature’s wisdom with today’s global challenges.
THE LEADERSHIP EDGE:
UNLOCKING THE POWER OF IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCES
Discover why the most impactful leaders of the future will be those who step beyond the boardroom and into nature. In a world where innovation moves at lightning speed, true breakthroughs often come from stepping away from the noise.
Graseilah introduces forest immersion as a powerful catalyst for creativity, problem solving, and trust within teams. The best leaders don’t just strategize—they connect deeply, listen intentionally, and lead with emotional intelligence. In an era of burnout and disconnection, this talk explores how immersive experiences in nature cultivate resilience, spark innovation, and inspire visionary decision-making.
THE FOREST REVOLUTION:
FROM SELF-EMPOWERMENT TO IMPACT
In a world that constantly pulls us away from ourselves, each other, and the rhythms of nature, the path back is simpler than we think. Through the art of storytelling, Graseilah invites audiences into a world where the wild becomes a mirror, reflecting our deepest truths and untapped strengths.
With deeply personal narratives—spending four days and nights alone in the wilderness each year for four years—she reveals the hidden superpowers we all carry within and how nature helps us reclaim them.
Blending science, mythology, and lived experience, Graseilah’s stories rekindle wonder, strengthen relationships, and awaken a long-forgotten potential within us.
