I am a Vermont native who is continually learning how to deepen my relationship with the land that I live on, and the people that I live on it with. My work has mostly involved using plants, growing food, and nature as a means of healing, empowerment and connection in community mental health settings, residential treatment facilities, and most recently with unaccompanied teens from Central America at an emergency shelter in Texas.

Being a rebel to me means trusting your inherent power, values, and beauty and using it for good in the world. It means lifting each other up and supporting each other in community in ways that resist scarcity, fear, and divisiveness – all things that our capitalist consumer culture relies on us to feel – and instead creates a culture of sharing, empowerment and tenderness.

I am thrilled to be back in Vermont this summer and returning to Rebels of the Moon, where dancing wildly in the woods and capturing the rebels' powerful essences on camera have been great honors for the last two years!
