Why I am called to facilitate the Work

In this time on Earth the Work That Reconnects is a vital part of the Great Turning. The Spiral of the Work is a strong transformational structure that can hold people as they grapple with a planet in crisis.

How I see the Work serving the Great Turning

We are in this transition of the Great Turning and the Great Unraveling together; humans, more than humans, and Gaia herself. The Work That Reconnects helps us do just that, reconnect, so that we can move forward together.

Audiences I work with

All ages but mostly adults and Elders.

Background & Training

Other relevant skills & experiences

My work in theater, improvisation and designing rituals and ceremonies is something I bring to the Work That Reconnects along with my love of art making and dancing. I integrate the arts and movement into all my workshops. As someone who as been through cancer and now as an elder been through the deaths of many friends and family members I can hold grief well. I have done grief work with Francis Weller and Sobonfu Some. I have trained in several coaching styles and facilitation modalities.
