Miri de Villers

Video and Media Assistant

I recently joined Rite to Freedom to support the team in their video and media output. I assist with the video production, editing and filming process and will be helping to develop new ideas and content.

I first became involved with R2F in September 2022 after being invited by a friend through a very vague and intriguing introduction to the programme. It came at the perfect time, as it was coming to the end of a summer of recovery and discovery, so I knew in my gut that something magical was going to happen. I learnt so much about myself over that weekend in Dartmoor, it was an emotional whirlwind and one that threw some clues towards me about the mystery of life and healing. 

Being a part of the Tribe has brought a softness into my world. Having experienced what it was like to be held in a space with such loving open arms, it confirmed my decision to quickly get involved with the programme on a deeper level. Soon after my Dartmoor residential I volunteered on R2F's first Ireland residential in The Burren - the rest is history.

Whilst practicing my own recovery, I'm currently studying Journalism full-time and working freelance in video production which has been my bread and butter for the last eight years.
