Long-time environmental activist, I’ve presented numerous times to local governing bodies on water, soil, air quality, agriculture and fracking issues and am comfortable with public speaking. I’ve been trained in non-violent communication, deep listening and co-leadership.
I’ve been actively involved with Pachamama Alliance Rochester Area (PARA) for years, focusing more recently on efforts to help people connect and rebuild right relationship with the natural world, and to raise consciousness through Sanctuary of the Wild and Seeds of Hope initiatives. I live on twenty acres of formerly abused/neglected land that has been restored, regenerated and re-wilded to serve as a sanctuary for Nature to just be.
