CURRENT MISSION

To support and challenge us to be better than we are.

ABOUT ME

I have many aspirations. I fail often.

I am learning to parent and trying hard to do so in non-coercive and loving ways.

PHILOSOPHY

I hope for nonhierarchical, noncoercive, fully inclusive, and equitable social systems and relationships.

Originally, as a means of finding places to stay. Now as a means of building connections.

Music, Movies, and Books

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hope

Teach, Learn, Share

I love cooking for people.

I dabble in fermentation (drinks and pickles).

I bake.

I'm very interested in growing food, but constantly fail to devote the time to do it well. I'd like to work toward a semi-wild perennial flower and foodscape with interspersed annual vegetables.

We share the farm with three ducks and share the house with three cats.

I try to learn and convey information and understanding through conversation, maps, graphs, and writing.
