Her inspirations have transcended concepts of nature & ecology and have embraced the metaphysical in her tireless search for answers. She believes that it is essential to be deeply involved with nature, community, and self-development, which in turn align with her being a student of Anthroposophy – ‘ The scientific exploration of the spiritual world ’– founded by Rudolf Steiner.
The greatest feats of human civilization: faith, science, the arts, & philosophy, are all essential for the future of humankind, but in order to partake, one must be in a state of constant evolution.
