Greetings to you from Aotearoa New Zealand.

Aotearoa is the Maori name for New Zealand. It is literally translated as 'the land of the long white cloud'. As Dave Dobbyn says in his song Welcome Home:

There is a cloud the full length of these isles...
just playing chase with the Sun.
And it is black and it is white and its wild, all colours are one.

Another vision for this place is 'the land of the long now'. A timeless lucid possibility for the planet.

My soul work is creating spaces for learning and transformation. I studied Industrial Design and Adult Education, and I still feel like I am a student of the creative process. My professional life involves co-creating CommonGround, a facilitation and collaboration practice. I am also involved in several intentional learning communities in New Zealand, including the active citizenship project called ChangeMakers New Zealand.

As we say here... Love your work!
