Santa Cruz,CA
Summary
I am most passionate about nature and community. I find deep fulfillment in the art of weaving them together to create expansive and healing experiences all around. I’ve explored many avenues to do that in my last 4 years living in Costa Rica, such as building a food forest for my community, facilitating earth-connection based retreats, and creating a youth Jungle Survival program!
I’ve recently transitioned to the Santa Cruz community, and I am looking for the next beautiful project that I can pour my heart into. Ideally a diverse and vibrant garden used for youth education and community gatherings.
