Please visit my blog at http://permaculturesanctuaries.blogspot.com/ to learn more about the magical journey of co-creating an permaculture garden in a rural community of Picardie, France. Join me on Facebook as we romp through France searching for our sweet spots ~ we found a few! http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/profile.php?id=604133588&ref=name
My life's work is entirely engaged in co-creating 'pockets of paradise' as one dear friend put it, for the New Earth and
her future generations. The gifts
of geomancy, clairsentience and eco-evolutionary transformation are resonant companions that
share this journey which are freely shared with anyone who dances in these realms. A designer, philosopher and writer at heart, my time is spent exploring the world for resonant frequencies of New Earth; writing and illustrating these experiences to share with the world.
An important part of my life revolves around travel. Through travel the world opens up, – this is such an amazing planet to explore and heal. I enjoy hiking, bicycling, generally being out in nature. I read a lot
and enjoy sharing thoughts and ideas with my partner. I’m passionate
about permaculture and design – enjoy birdwatching, planting trees,
raising animals, gardening, dancing, cooking, sharing good food with
friends, enjoying Bossa Nova, jazz, classical, world or Caribbean
music, classic rock are all very enjoyable, especially when shared.

To enrich the earth I have sowed clover and grass
to grow and die. I have plowed in the seeds
of winter grains and various legumes,
their growth to be plowed in to enrich the earth.
I have stirred into the ground the offal
and the decay of the growth of past seasons
and so mended the earth and made its yield increase.
All this serves the dark. Against the shadow
of veiled possibility my workdays stand
in a most asking light. I am slowly falling
into the fund of things. And yet to serve the earth,
not knowing what I serve, gives a wideness
and a delight to the air, and my days
do not wholly pass. It is the mind's service,
for when the will fails so do the hands
and one lives at the expense of life.
After death, willing or not, the body serves,
entering the earth. And so what was heaviest
and most mute is at last raised up into song.
~ Wendell Berry ~
