MAY OUR COMMUNITIES thrive on the diversity and richness of our connections.

I Love my Community

During a lifetime of moving all around North Carolina, I am proud and grateful that Pittsboro and northeast Chatham County have always been my roots, my anchor, my sense of HOME. Read more...

To strengthen and celebrate our community, I began co-organizing the family-friendly Pittsboro Community Dance Jams every 2-3 months back in 2008. It’s unique and heart-warming to find such a muti-generational multi-cultural gathering of folks. (My Grandma Margie and Grandad D.A. actually met at a community dance in the 1940s--their love of dance so inspired me through my life, I like to give them credit for helping create the PBO dance jams )

I am excited to offer experiential wellness education programs at AbunDance Healing Arts Sanctuary (Essence of Wellness Introductions and Adult Nature DIVAS Retreats), as well as customized programs for schools, non-profits, businesses, community groups, and families. I am also currently creating a local harvest calendar of medicinal and edible plants to contribute towards community empowerment and increased health.

“My favorite part of the Adult Nature DIVAS retreat was the authentic sharing and sense of community which happened surprisingly quick given most of us just met. It was a day of nourishment, connection, and and natural luxury!” ~Emily Malpass

“Your teaching style is what I want to give back to my child: calm and no rush” ~Julia

“The (Adult Nature DIVAS) retreat becomes a sacred vessel for our own personal revelations and unfolding. The sweetness here and the potency of everything present is deeply intermeshed in the experience—the plants, the artwork, your home, your spirit. The fresh raspberries and the lunch were exquisite and phenomenal. Receiving the massage was so deeply appreciated by my body and perhaps my favorite part of the retreat.” ~Kelsey

“Such a lovely place. I can feel your soul’s passion expressed in and around the (AbunDance Healing Arts) Sanctuary. Beautiful!” ~Petra

Customized Community Wellness Workshops

My wellness education workshops incorporate my broad knowledge of healing arts modalities and self-care tools in a way that supports the needs of your school group, community organization, non-profit, local business, or family. Whether you’re interested in resources for stress reduction, increased self-awareness, connecting with nature, or anything else you’ve seen on my website, I can create a customized workshop with a combination of activities to meet your unique needs.
