CURRENT MISSION

To live with balance and integrity and dance often.

ABOUT ME

I strive to live from a place of deep authenticity and basic decency.
I believe in kindness, and the importance of friendship and community.
In the interconnectedness of all life everywhere.
That spirit and energy are the same and are the building blocks of all that is or can be.
I believe that beauty & music keep me sane in a world out of balance,
and that movement and meditation nourish me, body, mind and soul.
I believe in the human potential and enjoy meeting other engaged beings.

PHILOSOPHY

My philosophy is to surround myself with beauty and to live with much kindness, generosity, passion, playfuless, awareness, curiosity
and balance as I can muster up at any given moment.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Backpacking with my daughter in Yosemite when whe was three months old. Serenading a mother grizzly and her cubs at dawn with voice and guitar near the Grand Canyon. Hiking the circumference of Mount Hood in Oregon. Walking around Lago Atitlan in Guatemala and blowing soap bubbles for the children to play with along the way. The two day bus ride on a one lane dirt road in the Andes between Ayacucho and Cusco in Peru. Being a mother.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like the share the zen of waltz.
How to make fabulous hot fudge sauce from scratch,
especially lovely served over fresh fruit and nuts.
Foraging for wild edibles in urban settings.
