My purpose is to nourish life so that all life can be nourished. I nourish life by discovering and adapting life-enhancing ways for meeting essential human needs.
My approach is inspired by mindful observation and heartfelt interaction with people, animals, plants and living systems.
I focus primarily on designing, implementing and co-evolving with Functional Forests as a way of developing a symbiotic relationship with nature. Forests have played a crucial role on the existence, sustenance and evolution of people throughout history. However, the same role has not always been assumed by people in return. Therefore, addressing the transformation of people’s emotions, perspectives and actions is a crucial part of my work in establishing Functional Forests.
Over the years, I received many questions ranging from ways of living true to one’s own values, to applying natural design on a piece of land and running a regenerative enterprise. Though I had little time and capacity to offer in these areas, I tried my best to respond in ways that I found sensible. However, these ongoing questions, concerns and challenges kept me thinking.
With the recent unfolding of dramatic changes in our physical, social and economic environment, the incoming questions and requests have also intensified. I therefore decided to work out a way to provide for those requests in line with my own life nourishing purpose. Hence came about this personally tailored ‘’one-on-one’’, ‘’couples’’ or ‘’business partners’’ oriented facilitation service.
The proceeds of this unique facilitation service flow entirely into the regenerative activities of Functional Forests.
