Education
We live in a complex world of uncertainty and change and education is evolving.
The transformation of education is the transformation or ourselves and the world.

About me.
Born and raised on the Olympic Peninsula of Washington state, I had access to the wild from a young age which inspired my training and adventures.
An unconventional path of education and discovery, which includes mentorships and apprenticeships supported by decades of holistic self-study in numerous disciplines, has afforded me a unique "out of the box" perspective.
My coaching, and consulting practice reflect a lifetime of embodied study and experience with decades of mentoring individuals and groups in primal training, liminal practices, and meta-education.
This experience has been framed within an academic study of education, learning experience design, educational technology, complexity science, cognitive science, and the natural sciences to provide a cutting edge approach.
What I do

Sharing a principle based approach with embodied, constraint-led exploration.
Curriculum & Program Design
Integrating the patterns and processes of nature as a holistic framework for education.
