Anna-Lisa Drew

Anna Lisa is facilitating the Young Maidens area at Heart of the Rose this year

Raised between the wilds of West Africa and the mystical lands of Avalon, Anna-Lisa brings a lifelong love of magic, movement, creativity and connection to her work.

A qualified Art Therapist, Taoist Movement & Well-being Practitioner and mentor, she has extensive experience supporting children, young people, families and teachers, particularly around neurodiversity, autism, mental health and disability. As the former UK Lead for Power Brain Education, she delivered movement, meditation, brain education and energy work through 1:1 sessions, classes and workshops in schools and yoga centres across the UK.

Anna-Lisa is also the founder of Ecstatic Dance Brighton and co-founder of Avalon Dance Odyssey, Brighton Sober Parties and Girls Like Bass. A mother herself, she is passionate about creating spaces where young people feel safe, empowered, playful and free to express themselves.

In the Maiden Space, she’ll be bringing this experience together through sharing and listening circles, games, meet-ups, silent disco, vision boarding, movement and plenty of opportunities to connect, create and have fun.
