Our most important actions should follow from what makes us feel happiest, most peaceful, and most at home in our lives.
Where is that place, for you?
“When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.”
~ Wendell Berry; The Peace of Wild Things

She was also coproducer of the COP21 video “A Climate Revolution For All.” Elizabeth is author of the popular handbook on nuclear weapons activism, “What Can I Do?” and the novel, “The November Deep.” For 25 years, she served as head medical/health sciences librarian for the British Columbia Government.

“Whoever you are, no matter how lonely, the world offers itself to your imagination, calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting – over and over announcing you place in the family of things

A return to Nature is a return to Self.
A stable climate and a secure future depend upon restoring local food systems and regenerative agriculture.
