About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

60s healthy, interested in health of people, communities, and earth. Interests include spiritual matters, creativity easecially graphic arts, music, travel, politics and natural systems.

PHILOSOPHY

People need to share their stories with one another face to face and depend less on mediated experience to feel less isolated and gain access to a congruency of human communities that superceeds the "globalized economy" staus-quo hegemony.
