Cath Hopkins

Earth apprentice, Neurodivergence explorer, Ecology student

Cath Hopkins learns best from and thrives most with deep bonds with other species and with the living lands and waters of Earth. For over 20 years, Cath has been exploring how to live well with neurodivergent disabilities that are both incapacitating in the dominant culture, and soul enhancing otherwise. For 14 years now, Cath’s lived with beloved partner Melanie Childers in the Watauga River watershed of the Blue Ridge Mountains, ancestral lands of the Eastern Band of Cherokee, in North Carolina. Cath is gradually working towards unlearning coloniality/modernity. Collaborating with countless other species in restoring a slope denuded in a landslide by our home has afforded Cath tremendous regenerative healing opportunities and life-enhancing perspective shifts.
