ABOUT ME I'm a midwest native, but I love the misty rains of the Pacific Northwest, the brass band music of NOLA, and the slow way of life present in so many countries other than my own. My home is cluttered with art supplies, the walls full with photos, and the kitchen stocked with dark chocolate, chai tea, and all the spices. As I am still renovating my house, my house is also cluttered with many other things. It’s often a complete mess, so be forewarned if you request to stay with me. 🤪
CURRENT MISSION My mission is to be a blessing to others. ABOUT ME Here's what I love: Being on this amazing planet, and having the health and energy to explore it and help others enjoy their time here, in peace and love. PHILOSOPHY In January of 2006 I realized that I am most happy living out of a tent and helping other people. My personal possessions truly get in the way of my developing relationship with God. So I gave my things away, lightened my load, and spent 7 years as a full time volunteer - for whatever cause I came across in my travels that spoke to me - individuals, organizations, religious, environmental, all were fair game. If they would give me a place to pitch my tent, or space on a floor or a couch, I helped them to the best of my ability. I obtained my Permaculture Design Certificate in January 2012 with Starhawk's Earth Activist Training, and deepened my skills with Compassionate Communication by attending the Bay Area Leadership Training in Nonviolent Communication in 2012. I began facilitating workshops on a gift basis. Now I am no longer nomadic. I have chosen to stay on Vashon Island, Washington to write a book about my nomadic life of service, and to help Americans adopt both Permaculture and Compassionate Communication as ways of life which will help the whole world.
