When I was younger my parents owned a retreat center, where we hosted gatherings and workshops. I remember at the age of 13 working with my father to prepare a site for a fire walk ritual. It was memorable because I asked if I could be part of the ceremony. Later that evening my father and I walked hand in hand across the hot coals. This strong foundation gave me the courage to take on tasks that seemed hard or scary, and jump into the unknown.
At the age of 15, I began a four-year internship with an intentional community upstate NY. I learned hands on event management and community organizing while traveling to Native American reservations and communities bringing a message of peace, simple living and sustainable healthy lifestyles.
In 2005 I co-created a not for profit education group that offered visioning salons, and networking opportunities. We hosted panel discussions and classes, all to help educate and inspire people (ourselves included). I believe now more than ever we must walk our talk and implement actions that offer sustainable, community minded, locally produced products and services. I believe when people, business and environment are nurtured simultaneously, we can create a thriving new reality where we can all benefit.
