Biography

Hey All:

I've moved back to eastern Tennessee for the summer. I'm ready for the next chapter in my life, sitting quietly in the between for the summer. I'll be leading a yoga retreat to Iceland in July, 2026!

Folks call me “mama earth”. I'm a Svaroopa yoga practitioner and therapeutic counselor, nature lover, mother and herbalist.

I'm living in Knoxville with friends researching different communities both here and abroad to live in. Over the last 8 years, I’ve lived amongst intentional communities from Washington State, Michigan, and Tennessee. I’ve lived in Oregon at Cob Cottage, Wheaten Labs for Bootcamp and studied with Sigi Koko, Uncle Mud, Ziggy Loila.

For my PDC project I created a 500sf strawbale cottage which sits within an intentional community with shared gardens and living spaces. Listening and looking and being patient to begin the build.
I am energetically advancing in years, sixty-eight this year and feeling vibrant and vulnerable, ready for a lovely partner, perhaps to build this cottage together or move onto land with joyful people!

I'm putting into practice the permaculture principles, I learned from my years of gardening and my recent PDC from Rancho Mastatal.
I also joined the Masonry Association and plan on heading over to Wild Acres for the national meetup to build a bunch of stoves!

For my spiritual life and blessed community, I sit on the board of the Lotus Light Contemplative Center in Knoxville, TN www.lotuslightcenter.org. These folks are wonderful and doing very good things in the world.

May all beings benefit! May peace be upon us!! May all the plants sing

2021 Rocket Mass Heater Jamboree - Wheaton Labs

Perfect. This all sounds reasonable to me.

I participated in a cob-wall building with Sigi Koko in NY just last month, we all wore masks inside working with the cob, and even a lot outside as we were stomping near to one another. Of course, we all then sat near to one another and ate lunch and those who wanted, stayed further away.

I had a lovely time, and got very inspired. Taking the time to take precautions sounds great to me.

What bricks to use for a simple rocket stove?

They did not show how to build the darn thing! I want to know how many bricks and the complete layout. Although this is the nicest one I've ever seen and looks so easy to use!

Hey Chris,

I'm still planning to head up to Montana from Tennessee if you know of anyone that would like to share the drive!

Look forward to building with you..

staying as a boot after an event

I agree that having someone who is on the boot camp list if they’ve already had interest and invested their fees, should get first dibs. Then if there is no one who steps forward, the ‘cutting in line’ comment, then yes, someone like myself who is taking a course and wants to be a part of the community and share skills, could step in. I’ve already paid my boot camp fees and looking forward to leaning into a cooperative environment with others. I bring excellent deep listening and communication skills. I’m living in northern Maine at an intensive yoga retreat where all the help is work-trade, all meals are communally prepared, and regular daily check-ins keep the flow steady from guests to staff. There seems to be a great opportunity to learn at the labs, yet, working/living cooperatively for 5 years I understand the dynamic of folks who maybe feel they are helpful but are not. I think the key is keeping clear dialogue and fantastic leadership in projects.

Hi Wheaten Labs:

Is there shared bunk house space available for the RMH? And, if there is bunk space available, is there an extra cost?
Also, if I bring a tent, how far is it from base camp? In the thread it seemed like it was 2 miles away.

Thanks for clarification.

The Problem is the Solution

Hi Leigh,

I live in the Southeastern US, near Knoxville, Tennessee, my friend just purchased land in Parrotsville. I surely don't have any solutions yet to our wild and weedy, thorny grass problem. Right now we are just mowing it, and it grows back fiercely. We did hand-dig it out and made one little circle-about 2ft by 3ft to plant a few herbs and veggies in-a tomato plant and zucchini plant is growing there now but I'm not sure if we should plant seed-vetch or what on the 1/4 acre yard in the front.

I'll send a picture in another post
