I live in Arizona where the pine forests meet the high desert. As an artist and architect, my work arises from a deep sense of belonging to the land and community I call home. As a facilitator, I have focused on anti-racism work, skills for communicating across the political divide, and supporting the local Insight Meditation sangha. My facilitation of the Work That Reconnects springs from caring for the Earth, a love of beauty and art, along with a desire to create opportunities for people to connect, listen, and be heard.
Along with co-facilitator Grace Burford, I offer Spiral Journey workshops in Arizona.
Why I am called to facilitate the Work
Since I first encountered the Work That Reconnects, I have treasured the open-hearted perspectives and profound solace it offers in the face of overwhelming world-wide challenges and loss. The brilliance of the Spiral Journey to hold us as we honor our pain, to reveal again and again that we are not alone, and to call us to the urgent work to be done, never ceases to inspire me.
How I see the Work serving the Great Turning
One of the potent understandings of the Work is that the Great Turning is happening simultaneously with the Great Unraveling. Letting in this view broadens our perspective and creates an openness to seeing movements happening all around us toward a life-sustaining society, even as we also witness the turmoil and destruction. People across the Earth are quietly going about contributing to this profound transformation. The Spiral Journey helps us see we are interconnected and that our efforts, whether large or small, matter.
