I am an 'at home' mother of two adolescents, a 16 year old son - who is homeschooled, and a 13 year old daughter, who attends a Waldorf school.  We live in a very successful cohousing community in Sonoma County.  I am deeply interested in all issues related to sustainability and living in right-relationship to all people and systems of the Earth.  I plan to study Permaculture in the next 12 months, and hope to gain skills to be of greater service to my community.   I am involved with TransitionTown Cotati, an initiative to bring greater awareness about issues related to 'peak oil' and creating a more resilient and sustainable local economy.
