Becca’s professional and volunteer life has been in service to reconnection, within the self with inner healing work, among humans with community development and between humans and the land, with non-profit organizations that support the connection between nature and human culture.
As a Focusing practitioner for 20 years, she has supported clients to reconnect with their deepest selves, especially those parts that have been denied, abandoned, shamed and hidden. By welcoming and learning to love all aspects of ourselves, a wholeness emerges that allows for greater flourishing in life.
As a community organizer, she has created opportunities for people to do things together, working with hands and hearts in service to a more beautiful world. Neighborhood potlucks, wood stacking parties, ceremony and ritual, community food processing of garden harvest, and community medicine making for covid are some of the activities. She has also been supporting an important neighborhood farm called Brook’s Bend to transition from single-family ownership to a collective “commons” structure.
As Board Chair of the Vermont Wilderness school (2005-15), she supported its mission of restoring our relationships with nature, ourselves, and each other. It has been a natural progression to support the work of the AAC, working on large-scale ecosystem reconnection in the critically biodiverse Amazon basin.
