I am a mother, an activist, an organizer, a permaculturalist, an environmental planner, and a third generation Unitarian Universalist living near Lake Champlain in Vermont. In the past decade, I have worked with women in permaculture, with racial and economic justice committees, and with food education.

Last month, I was generously offered complementary registration to attend the North American Permaculture Convergence (NAPCII) in Hopland, California from September 14-18, 2016. I will join the “Women and Permaculture” Working Group, represent the Northeast Women in Permaculture Gathering (NEWIP) and connect our networks so that we might shape communities for the benefit of everyone in them.

However, I still need to raise money to get to California and cover my expenses while I am there. I am just $700 away from achieving this goal in service to building Beloved Community.

I will be able to achieve this goal with the help of my friends and "siblings” in organizing and activism. Any effort to help me participate at the convergence will be deeply appreciated.

Please help spread the word!
