I live in Victoria, BC. I am inspired by the bioregional way of living and am grateful to live in such a beautiful place here on Vancouver Island. I want to build a flourishing and resilient life for myself and my community, in balance with the natural world we depend upon. I like the cosmo-local philosophy of combining global networking technologies for sharing knowledge and coordination at higher levels while cultuaviting a strong local community and economy.

I am a neuroscientist, consciousness explorer, and student of integrative permaculture (exploring the intersections of land-based, social, and inner permaculture). I design and experiment with neuro-compatible socio-economic systems and the evolution of collaborative consciousness. I love dance, music, play with nature, and authentic connections.

Arnica Ste Marie
All about permaculture and local, regenerative food systems and would like to participate more in creating local (urban) food systems that EVERYONE can participate in/have access to. Community heals ❤️ I’m also a Reiki practitioner and healer. The collective trauma and grief everyone is experiencing on this planet right now is something I also feel called to address and be of service to help heal.
