Long-time practitioner of WTR seeking others who want to work together. More details to follow.

Why I am called to facilitate the Work

I actively facilitated this Work for nearly 20 years (1990-2007). It has remained a constant support in guiding my life. I am now at a place in my life wherein I want to give back and the planet is in a place that needs us to reawaken.

How I see the Work serving the Great Turning

Thirty-five years ago my worldview profoundly shifted when I discovered Deep Ecology (now WTR.) It gave me a way to understand my distress and despair for the world. It gave me the inner strength to work to change the trajectory I saw and , most surprising, I also became a softer, more accepting person as compassion replaced some of my anger and frustration. I have been watching and working to slow down the “Industrial Growth Society” most of my adult life. WTR has been at the core of that work.
I have come to see that the Great Unraveling is a critical element in bringing about the Great Turning. The principles, practices and experiential tools offered through WTR are central to making that shift to a Life Sustaining culture. In an increasingly fractured world, this is one of the few modalities that holds hope for our future planet and its inhabitants.

Audiences I work with

In the past, I have primarily worked with adult and young adult audiences, mostly drawn from concerned middle-class ranks or younger environmental activists although also some BIPOC individuals.
I would appreciate an opportunity to discover new ways of sharing WTR with new, more diverse populations
