CURRENT MISSION

Learn methods of sustainable agriculture, i.e. permaculture, and provide a cozy and beautiful space for interesting minds and good hearts

PHILOSOPHY

Nothing is fundamental and anything is possible. All people have equal rights to their own opinions. Share and bare your heart and soul and never make excuses for yourself. Never stop asking questions. Try to retain the curiosity of a child as long as possible.

Interests

Ethnobotany, permaculture, travel, sustainable resource use, music, film, lit, photography, dancing, laughing, making faces, reading novels, newspapers, literary magazines, pretending to read articles while doing the crossword instead - sometimes it's all I get through in a day

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Watched with complete awe and respect a Kodiak brown bear stand on its back legs to inspect a seven year old student of mine on a hike in Alaska. Absolutely mesmerising. I only wish I had been closer

Teach, Learn, Share

Everyone should read David Orr's "Earth in Mind". In it's own genre I believe it is the best book I've read so far, though I suppose there's a world of books out there, regardless of the genre, but nee bother. It's an amazing book. Articulate, hopeful, astute and clear. Sigh. Just read it
