Network Weaver

"Connecting People to Weave a Better World"

 

I Just started graduate school, earning my MA in Psychology with a focus in Organization Development at Sonoma State University and moved to Sebastopol, CA. I love learning systems and models for positive change in organizations to come from within. A quote from the founder of my program:

"Being an artist in this work means not just being a sum of your
parts, but something much more than that. Your being and its
expression in action reflect this little-understood process of
integration into an effectively functioning professional and person.
As you move toward such integration, such wholeness, you are
indeed moving toward artistry."
Tannenbaum & Eisen, 1995, p. 83

 

Since moving to Sebastopol I have enjoyed getting more involved with the Rites Project, attended the Skatepark and Community Gardens grand opening, and love living in this small town, prepping the land we live on for growing food and abundance.

 

Here is more about me, written in 3rd person. Enjoy and please play along! "The movement that plays together, stays together!" -Khanna Sisters :)
