More About Myself	I am passionate about responding to our rapidly changing world with hope, love, and connection as a way to combat growing fear and division due to instability. I believe that degrowth, permaculture, and bioregional identities and culture are a way that we can forge a future for humanity that celebrates our connection to nature and each other
About The Work I Do	I work at Lost Valley as an administrator and educator. I am particularly interested in developing our education around community governance and creation. I would also like to establish a branch of our organization dedicated to community seeding and networking for our region
Why do you feel like your work or bioregionalism is important for the future of the Cascadia Bioregion?	I live at Lost Valley Education Center, and I am passionate about creating a bioregional network of communities dedicated to implementing goals for restoring watersheds, and bioregional landscapes as a form of identity and purpose. My hope is that Lost Valley can become a bioregional education center that serves as a networking and governing hub for intra community cooperation. Lost Valley has been growing it’s identity as a community and permaculture education center for many decades now, and I believe we are in the right position to help lead this charge. I am devoted and invested in this work, and I’m looking to develop our network and public visibility
