I make every effort to provide a safe and spiritual space for you to connect with the natural world.
•• I am having some health challenges that need to improve in order to host gatherings at Earthcamp. I have been diagnosed with Erosive Oral Lichen Planus. It is rare, hard to treat, leaves me weak. It is painful to eat, drink, talk. I am undergoing autoimmune suppressant therapy which will take weeks to see results. I will keep you updated. I ask for your good energy and prayers.
