| 1. What do you see as your primary work at this stage of your life? | Personally:
To learn the art of being, not only doing. I am working on rebalancing my nervous system to cherish and desire rest and relaxation versus only doing and striving. I realize to be a successful regenerative practitioner, I have to regenerate myself too. In permaculture terms, starting at "zone 0". I got in a car accident last month, so it has opened a lot of "seeing" into my health and although I can say "I feel great" my actual health says otherwise. Stress is high, thyroid imbalanced, etc - so actually working to change habits to create health.
Professionally:
Creating lasting systems change in tourism and conservation. I am very very very excited by the opportunity "regenerative tourism" holds and I hope to develop projects, businesses, and movements to harness this opportunity to regenerate the places where people want to connect to.

| 3. What goals or aims do you have in regard to the above? | Personally:
Reduced stress levels, rebalanced thyroid, ability to REST without anxiety and longing to DO. Invest in myself and my health before projects and businesses.
Professionally:
Develop projects and businesses to BE the change I want to see for the future of regenerative tourism / ecotourism. Work with local CVB's and DMO's to develop regenerative tourism models where tourist taxes can be spent regenerating local ecosystems and communities.
