About Me I’m 62 years old, with deep roots in the environmental and regenerative farming movements. I’ve worked in permaculture, started a farmers market, and have spent years as a yoga teacher and sound bath practitioner. I’m a Kundalini yoga teacher and leader in that field, currently living in the Black Hills of South Dakota. A few years ago I went through a divorce, and I’m now exploring relocation — looking for my people: those living in harmony with the land who also hold a spiritual practice, where I can contribute the full range of skills I bring. I care deeply about raising consciousness on the planet and bringing health and wellness to both people and the earth — I consider myself a water protector, and the environment matters enormously to me. I love teaching and education in general. I’m organized, comfortable with social media and administrative work, though what lights me up most is the deeper work — teaching, healing, and helping communities thrive. What I’m Looking For A 3-month work-trade opportunity, ideally December 26 – February 27. I can offer: Yoga and meditation instruction Farming, harvesting, and food prep Administrative support
