I am a poet and educator. I am a founding member of Women Included, a transnational feminist network. I have been part of the local sangha for a decade. We meet every week to discuss buddhist teachings as well as other spiritual books. I also lead a chanting group, and have taught chanting to kids for many years.

What is your past experience with trauma/stress healing?

I have been offering writing workshops to breast cancer patients for the last few years. I use writing and chanting to heal. Plus yantra drawing practice.

What are your goals for participating in this course?

I wish to understand how I can care for the earth despite living in a society where I am dependent on material goods that use up the earth’s resources. I also want to know how to communicate the connection between violence to the earth as violence to women and marginalized groups.

What are some communities you’re a part of that might benefit from what you would be learning in this course?

My organization Women included would benefit. My students in college would benefit greatly from material from this course.

Do you have any other questions for the course organizers?

I follow goddess worship practice and don’t have a particular teacher. Let me know if you want to meet with one of my recent mentors who runs the sangha in Setauket and I can send you their email.
