I am a San Francisco acupuncturist who fell for a Tauranga Kiwi and moved to this gorgeous country of New Zealand in 2006.

Watching the climate and world financial markers, we decided to move to a rural 10 acre property in 2011 to have more control over the basics of water, food and energy.

After training in horticulture and permaculture, we are now facilitating a PDC program here in the Bay of Plenty.

We are keen to establish a vibrant, region wide, stable network of people keen to: gather and share living, building and growing skills; organise and share resources; support each other now and if/when significant change hits our region.
