 Currently a Yoga Instructor and User Experience Strategist for social networks and web communications. I spent many years as a professional activist mostly as a bridge betwen Indigenous Human Rights and Environmental stwardship issues or widlerness protection issues.

Among the various organizations for whom I was on staff are:

Earth Island Institute, 1989
US Organizing Comittee, Indigenous People's Panel Coordinator
Fate of The Earth Conference, Nicaragua

International Indian Treaty Council (IITC)
Research, networking, communications (newsletter)

South and Meso American Indian Information Center (SAIIC
Development Coordinator

Pesticide Action Network, North America (PANNA)
Office Manager, Newsletter, networking.

Deep work with Earth First 1986-1992
Redwood Summer, 1990

Canvasser for Greenpeace, Communities for a Better Environment, California League of Conservation Voters.

And many local and international initiatives through support and participation.

Currently, I am focusing on "Sustainable Self, Sustainable World." Meaning through self-study and self awareness and discovery of personal values, social change is strengthened. As a yoga Instructor I teach the Yoga Sutras and the philosophy of Vedanta and the Bhagavad-Gita to awaken not only sense of self-liberation but an instrinsic ecological ethic.

Through instruction or personal transformation and awakening through Yoga Philosophy and Kirtan, or practice of reverence, devotion and gratitute (Bhakti and Karma Yoga) I help inspire and sustain people towards less internal and external conflict.

As a User Experience Internet Strategist and technologist, I work to bring communications infrastructure to social change organizations and communities.
