I speak on my life's journey including building sustainable local economies, running a business with a balance of head and heart, learning from indigenous wisdom and bringing the feminine into balance with the masculine to build a more compassionate and caring economy. My book won the 2014 gold metal for "business leadership" from Nautilus national book awards. My current projects include founding a micro loan fund called the Circle of Aunts & Uncles www.circleofauntsanduncles.com, and a campaign called Proud Pennsylvania that advocates a positive vision for our state as a network of sustainable, inclusive and thriving regional economies running on 100% renewable and producing basic needs of food, fiber and fuel locally. Proud Pennsylvania endorses state candidates who align with this vision. www.proudpennsylvania.org.
