Flo started practicing mindfulness about two years ago, through her local Wake Up group in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Her experiences led her to become interested in the impact of mindfulness on wider social change, and, more broadly, the connections between inner and outer transformation.

One outcome of her interest in this area was a trip to Bhutan, the country where they use Gross National Happiness (GNH) to measure their societal progress. This was an amazing experience, and helped her to see a solid practical example of mindfulness and happiness being deeply linked to wider social change and progress. She is keen to continue exploring these types of examples, both those inspired by GNH and those simply motivated by a desire to create more happiness and wellbeing in wider society.

She works as Communications Manager at the Network of Wellbeing (NOW). She holds an MA in Anthropology and Development from Leiden University in the Netherlands, and this is where her broader interest in wellbeing and social change begun.

Isabelle Giraldo is Half Belgian, half Colombian, as a child of expat parents she travelled the world, discovering the beauty, the playfulness, the magic of nature.
An artist at heart she decided to study architecture in Brussels and for 15 years led a full life as a mother of 4 and working in construction. Her career going from creating projects to house homeless to building Malls in Doha, Qatar, witnessing the poor treatment of the workers. Growing more aware everyday of the destruction of the planet, wondering what world her children and grand-children would grow up in, she decided to leave the construction business to find a life of purpose. Thus began her journey.
After completing the Right Livelihood Certificate at Schumacher College, she started teaching mindfulness to kids and in schools.

Her projects involve teaching mindfulness in schools and integrating GNH (Gross National Happiness) in education. As a creative facilitator she tries to weave back the broken fabric of our world, by teaching mindfulness, facilitating with art and nature, to reconnect people to their true self, others and Earth.
