The question at the core of my life journey is “how can I as an individual, and we as a species, reclaim authentic, wild, caretaking connections with earth, self, and community?"

I am enjoying slowly living into the answer: as a facilitator, teacher, and mentor, I am learning to 'design every breath:' to interact with individuals and groups in a way that shifts the culture out of stress patterns and into regenerative patterns. I do this by practicing staying centered, authentic, aware of others, immune to stress, and cultivating contagious peacefulness.

These also happen to be the most important qualifications of a skilled goatherd - there's much more professional overlap than appears at first glance!

Don't count on me to give you all the answers, but count on me to listen, to go outside and share questions that help us learn from nature, and from each other.

I'm just beginning my Diploma in Permaculture to deepen my ability to 'walk my talk' and live regeneratively. as part of this journey, I am in the moving to Portugal and heping design and set up the Portuguese Diploma System.
