Our Future
I spent the last 20 years as a visionary woman owner operator and pioneer in the California wine industry, specifically in the niche of “Natural Wine.” In 2004 we were unique for extending philosophies driving farming practices into the cellar and operations, including bottling, packaging and more. We eschewed roundup (glyphosate), plastic fermentation vats, killing the microbes we farm to support cultured yeast, Styrofoam shippers, heavy glass bottles and more, years before most were considering holistic impact.
My skills and experiences, combined with graduating from the life changing Regenerative Economics course with John Fullerton & Capital Institute (Cohort 4), provides me several focus areas as I launch a new career. I would love to work addressing the “how,” for saving the Natural World.
The Future Is Female
“You never change things by fighting the existing reality.
To change something, build a new model that makes
the existing model obsolete.”
~Buckminister Fuller
My Pitch Is About
Finding common ground around our biology and relationships.
Meeting (not matching) to engage millions around the globe.
Facilitating new relationships & transcontextual learning.
Lawnmower World
Nora Bateson’s poem wraps around my spirit like a love letter to farmers and regenerative agriculture…
It is a fool’s task to un-life the world that gives us life.
Horrible hubris.
With an infection in our connection.
My Teacher
Listen to John Fullerton, in a film by Nic Askew,
explain how a new way of seeing life and
being alive is possible!
My Inspiration
Nora Bateson surely inspires millions,
and like John Fullerton, has provided me
hope and purpose during my journey.
Community Building
Musings & Meadowing
I am a proud feminist, single mother of 19 & 13 year old daughters, who are my North Star, I am a caregiver, not a taker. This is my blog where I share ideas, like human hands digging into the dirt, connecting with life in the soil and life in their community, creating unimaginable possibilities.
Save the Natural World!
Recruiting Dandelion & Horsetail Punk Rockers to start a
Natural World Revolution as a counterpoint to the
Built World’s 4th Industrial Revolution.
There will be no community
without first communing.
~Nora Bateson
