Do you think a lot about the flow between person and place?

So do I. As a writer, journalist, and professor - most of my work revolves around this rich exchange, and my mission in life is to open up more thoughtful conversations about the relationship between person and place.

Who is this newsletter for?

Readers, thinkers, feelers, storytellers.

Do you stop to pick up feathers, interesting rocks and sea glass? Can you remember the sensory details of your back yard, or the first time you felt fear and humility outside, or the biochemical registry of home? Are you concerned with the state of the natural world? Are you trying to break into environmental writing?

Join the conversation

I consider this a mutual exchange. I ask a lot of questions in my newsletters that you can respond to in various ways - in your journal, in your creative work, in a letter to me.

I send one thoughtful newsletter a month. I consider it a way of thinking together, of sharing my thinking, field work, and writing experience.

I offer extra resources to paid subscribers of any amount - starting with a 10 page workbook on Building a Values-Led Creative Life.

I’m grateful for your interest in my work, and I hope I can help you with yours.
