Speaking & WORKSHOPS

Leo’s knack for directing group attention towards shared learning is obvious and invisible at the same time. A gifted facilitator and articulate speaker, Leo’s ideas are steeped in experience and shared in a way that people can relate to. Perforating powerfully held spaces with sporadic humour and remarkable vulnerability, Leo’s workshops often bear ‘a-ha moments’ and attract the same people again and again. Common reflections have themes of clarity, inspiration, empowerment and action orientation. A curious learner, a generous teacher, and a leader with a vision.

Events including New Frontiers, NZ Spirit Festival, Aum Festival, Prana Festival, Living the Change Panel Discussion Tour, Kiwiburn, Ignition Festival, Tauranga Garden & Arts Festival, Vegan Vibes, School Strike for Climate, Earthbeat Festival, Resolution Festival.

Leo has experience speaking to all ages from adults, to high school students and primary school kids.

Beyond Sustainability

What are we sustaining? Can living with less really mean living with more? Sustainability Consultant Leo Murray reflects on the shortcomings of the environmental movement, adjust the bar for sustainability and re-frame our uncertain future.

Tiny Houses and Low Impact Living

Millennials are the first generation ever to have lower standards of living than their predecessors. Fact. But does this mean lower quality of life? According to permaculture designer and tiny house designer/owner Leo Murray, it so much more. Find out how through this inspiring and engaging workshop covering alternatives to food, shelter and land access, with a focus on right livelihoods and low impact living.
