My Philosophy...
I see this as a time of joyful "re-weaving"! I am interested in the quality of connection between people and nature that promotes harmony with each other, and our "larger self", the environment, the world, that literally supports us! I love the process of learning & teaching skills that inspire a life-nourishing and co-creative "Way Forward"!

My Story...
