Hello. How cool that we are meeting in this way! Thanks for being part of this great movement toward a life-sustaining and loving community. I’m a psychotherapist turned organizer. Until a few years ago, I never knew that the earth could love me back. Now, I feel a sense of belonging to this land that I didn’t think would be possible for someone like me, a descendent of early settler-colonialists from Great Britain and Germany. Turns out, if I go back far enough, I have ancestors (you do too!) who knew how to tend relationship with the rest of the natural world. From this new ground, I can touch profound grief and take action. I’m super excited about the intersection of social and earth justice; working toward a future of respect and well-being for all beings brings me such joy. I’m a queer/gender queer partnered parent of a sensitive neurodiverse kiddo. As a white, cis-appearing person with class privilege, I have humility for how much I have to learn and unlearn. To leadership, I bring curiosity, a love of group dynamics, respect for the body’s deep wisdom, and an eye for inviting in guidance from the rest of the natural world.
