Garry Pratt

Garry is the author of "The Creativity Factor" from Bloomsbury Publishing, which uncovers the importance of creativity in imagining your future and clarifies how you can use time spent outdoors, immersed in nature, to fully harness your creative potential and make real change as well as to just feel better.  From being the co-founder of multiple tech start-ups, entrepreneur-in-residence and Teaching Fellow at the University of Bath to leading walking events across the UK, in the Atlas mountains in Morocco and beyond, Garry restored his own attention and found his thinking space and inspiration outside, with the absolute conviction that 'a desk is a dangerous place from which to view the world' (John Le Carre).'   

"From my early years camping in wild places with my family and then feeling I'd found my place in the school mountaineering club, I've always known that being outdoors was the best medicine, so I was delighted to come across Mind over Mountains and even more delighted to become a trustee.

The work Mind Over Mountains does seems simple, but is deeply powerful and much needed in today's fast paced world. I hope that as a Trustee, my experience can add something and hopefully help the team support more and more people."
