I’ve been on the board and working with Northwest permaculture convergence since 2018. I live on 10 acres of forested land in Tahuya Washington with stream and lake that connects to the Tahuya river and the Hood canal on the Olympic peninsula in Washington. I’ve come to Earth to serve heaven on Earth evolution of humanity and the thriving of life. I have some techie skills and love connecting people and organizing things. Let’s work together towards the new in ancient ways of this beautiful world.

I’m a Canadian prairie farm kid turned grocer turned regen ag accelerator. I owned a seasonal grocery store whose focus was on local, in season regenerative and organic foods.
I kickstarted the savory institute hub in Manitoba and then spent the last 3.5 years living in New Zealand working with a start up who was seeking to “make regenerative action valuable”
I’m a regen ag enthusiast and am interested in how bioregional economies (social capital, financial capital, knowledge etc) can bring abundance.
I like being outside, walking in forests, swimming in rivers, gardening, food, people, music, and doing the doing.

I have had an organic farm and seed company here in Southern Oregon for the past 27 years. My seed company is called Siskiyou seeds. We have also been a living example of permaculture in action for that entire time. We actually earn our living through farming and have many examples of food, forest animal systems, Permaculture farm techniques, ecological, forestry, and water harvesting.

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.
