Adventures in Maternal Ambivalence

Hannah Engelkamp is a writer and editor who once walked around Wales with a donkey called Chico, and thought that was the hardest thing she’d ever done. Then she had a baby, and discovered that walking about the place with a donkey – even an untrained, opinionated, insubordinate one – was nothing compared to the complete life changing catastrophe of parenthood. She will be talking about these experiences, the role the outdoors can play in looking for a better balance, and how to make friends with ambiguity and embrace feeling great joy and sorrow at the same time. This talk was pre-recorded prior to the day of the event.
