Summer Season

This month we finished Axial Arcing, the third workshop module within a four part Axis Syllabus training series at the Field Center. This is my first year teaching 4 full days as a sole teacher-facilitator (of course with deep support from staff and students). I enjoy and believe in this

Returning to the Bay Area

I feel overwhelmed with the feelings that come with change. Like the color of the river after a long downpour, my waters are muddied with feelings. It is a gift to be back in the Bay area for this week Sept 1-7. I still have a couple of slots available

We are about to start our final summer volunteer session here at the Field Center and it has been an extraordinary time of learning and sharing. I am grateful to all of the volunteers who helped us to build and repair, plant and harvest, and who shared their creativity with
