A Short Profile

How I Came to This Work

Client-centered design process helps you to:

	Explore your life's journey as a way of finding your way Home, and engaging in the dialogue between this internal process and your physical home.
	Deepen your relationships with your loved ones, the human family and the earth.
	Clarify your vision and that of your family.
	Elicit and explore dialogue through a series of creative and meditative exercises.
	Give form to your life-impulses--I help by absorbing your rhythms, listening to and entering your stories; seeking the deep river of love within.

Ways of Dwelling -- accessing and engaging with the ineffable presence in the space of your home:

	Poetic space inspires us to live--it sets your imagination free to fill your heart with nurturing images of peace and wholeness and the beauty you love.
	Our home provides a safe opening for you to give expression to the images in your dreams, memories, beliefs and ancestry which provide nurturing, refuge, and a sense of who you are at heart.
	Living intentionally in your spaces makes a way for you to have a closer and more intimate relationship with nature and the earth, your loved ones and human family.
	Engaging with space as children and animating the places and figures in your world helps you give expression to the story of your unique and wondrous experience.

Ecological design helps you to co-create with nature and the earth through:

	Selecting the building site and creating a home that naturally and simply connects you to your land as it becomes the heart of your living.
	Rediscovering the nurturing and timeless quality of vernacular building, the roots of Ecological Design - such as thick walls, real materials and solid construction; spaces to gather and hold warm sunlight and cool breezes and nature's rhythms.
	Exploring local ecologically-sound building components and appropriate renewable energy technologies (including recycling and reusing materials).
