About us

We are Chloe Revill and Andy Raingold, co-founders of Change in Nature.

We met in 2012, while working to influence UK environmental policy in Westminster… where we found ourselves becoming increasingly disconnected from the environment we were seeking to protect.

After going on our own journeys into wilder places, we set up Change in Nature to help others deeply reconnect with the natural world and resource them to take meaningful action at this pivotal time.

Over 1,000 people have benefited from our programmes since 2016.

Meet Chloe

Chloe is a facilitator, social entrepreneur and political strategist, with over 15 years of experience supporting marginalised countries and communities to have their voices heard at the United Nations’ climate change negotiations. She has been designing and leading transformative experiences in nature since founding Change in Nature in 2016. Her work includes training others to become nature-based facilitators, leading regenerative leadership courses for change makers, designing and facilitating impactful strategy retreats for environmental organisations and holding space for meaningful dialogue among people with different political and ideological persuasions. Chloe is a bridge-builder between worlds and theories of change; simultaneously working to influence international climate change policy and support individuals to experience profound personal transformation.

As well as running Change in Nature, Chloe has co-founded The Depolarise Project - an initiative that empowers nature and climate advocates to deepen their capacity to dialogue across political divides. She also provides political advice and communications support to young negotiators and activists who are seeking to influence the UN climate negotiations. During her time as a UK Government civil servant and diplomat (2008-2012), Chloe helped catalyse and manage an innovative diplomatic alliance of 30+ developed and developing country governments who were pivotal to delivering the Paris Climate Agreement. Her facilitation is informed by these varied positions and perspectives.

Meet Andy

Andy is a coach, facilitator, speaker and social entrepreneur who inspires transformation and supports people to grow their capacity to catalyse meaningful change in the world. He has been guiding transformative experiences in the natural world since founding Change in Nature in 2016. His work includes leading group processes, teaching facilitation, building resilience skills, training emerging leaders, supporting change-makers to craft new stories, mentoring teenage boys and working with progressive businesses and organisations to “think differently”. He has worked and studied with wisdom keepers and elders from different traditions; as well as supporting and learning from a number of marginalised communities around the world (including Syrian refugees in Greece and the Khwe people in Namibia).

For over seven years (2007-14), Andy was the Executive Director of the Aldersgate Group, working in Westminster with CEOs, Government Ministers and thought leaders to drive action for a more sustainable world. He regularly supports Cambridge University as an editor on their sustainable leadership programme and creates spaces to bring together change makers across generations to foster deep understanding and mutual trust. He has written for the Guardian and been interviewed by BBC Newsnight, The Sunday Times, BBC Radio 4, The Independent and Guardian Environment Podcast.

Our impact & approach

Over 1,000 people have experienced our nature-based programmes since 2016. These are the recurring themes that appear in their feedback and testimonials time and again…

1. Personal transformation and deep change

Our programmes can inspire profound, life-changing shifts. Participants often return to their daily lives with a renewed sense of purpose, energy, and a deeper connection to their true selves. Many experience a journey of healing and self-discovery, reconnecting with parts of themselves that feel authentic, creative, and whole.

2. Connection to nature and belonging

Nature plays a central role in our programmes, offering beauty, strength, and peace that helps participants reconnect with a sense of wholeness and purpose. Many describe this as a “rewilding” of the spirit — a feeling of returning “home” to nature, discovering a place where they feel they truly belong.

3. Community and meaningful connections

The community we create is a vital part of the experience — a “village” of supportive relationships where people feel seen, valued, and accepted. This atmosphere of kindness and vulnerability helps participants build deep connections that are both joyful and meaningful, often rekindling a playful, childlike spirit.

4. Emotional release and renewal

We provide a supportive space for expressing a full range of emotions, from joy and laughter to grief and release. This emotional openness brings a sense of renewal, allowing participants to leave feeling lighter, re-energised, and better prepared to meet life’s challenges.

5. Lasting inspiration and positive impact

Our programmes inspire participants to carry the values and practices they experience back into their own lives and communities. Many leave with fresh perspectives on what truly matters, empowered to make meaningful contributions in ways that resonate personally.
