Native American lessons of connectedness to each other and to all things in Nature have informed my life and continue to influence my views.  

​

I am indebted to numerous Native American Elders who taught me spiritual ways, and about the unity of all ways of thinking and belief. This, in addition to my own Native American heritage, has provided grounding for my personal life and my more than forty years of teaching and counseling at university level.

​

I am also a docent at the State Indian Museum in Sacramento where I share Native American culture & spiritual ways and speak on various related topics.
