Tilly: Openhand Wise Elder

Tilly is Openhand's "Wise Elder" - which is a role reminiscent of the 'Grandmother Medicine Woman' of a First Nations Tribe. Which is a totally appropriate metaphor, because Tilly has phenomenal experience of walking the path, what that actually entails, and a voluminous reservoir of wisdom, from countless varied experiences, trials and tribulations. She embodies a profound connection with nature, natural shamanism, and an alchemical First Nations empathy. She's a gifted reader of the flow, in daily life, integrating signs and synchronicities with heartfelt feeling and visioning too. She is a true master of the evolutionary Ascension process.

Having been around since the early conception of Openhand (formerly as Lesley Lord in the 5GATEWAYS film), she has an in-depth understanding of the philosophy - being the proving ground for many of the processes within their early development!" She's served the Openhand in many roles, including retreat centre management, support facilitation, and for five successful years as our community coordinator.

Now, Tilly stands in the place of the Openhand Wise Elder, where she shares her deep knowledge and wisdom with the core team, as and when called upon. For the people on our Facilitator Program and others, including those new to the Academy, she's there to be reached out and connected with if you have any issues or challenges with Openhand - if you need some information, support or advice here or there about how you connect with the work.

As a lead facilitator in our Facilitator Network she will be continuing to support facilitate at online and terrestrial events.

Tilly has a wealth of experience within the Awakening/Ascension arena. Having naturally followed the flow rather than "the norm" she is widely travelled with many rich and varied life experiences. Tilly has the perfect level of empathy and insight to help you apply advanced spiritual awareness and concepts to regular life, in a grounded, straightforward and accessible way.

Tilly is also known for her broad and colourful experience in shamanism, having trained and developed as a firewalking instructor with Sundoor International, and then subsequently leading many of her own firewalks and sweat lodges over the years, including plenty for Openhand.

With her grounded, down-to-earth vibe, yet tuned in with the deep alchemy of shamanism, it is entirely appropriate that she is known as the "Oenhand Wise Elder".
