About

THANK YOU FOR FINDING ME HERE…

In traveling the Japanese countryside as a cultural conservationist and storyteller, a quiet tale has begun to surface. The Japanese art of regenerative living. My work stems from the strong belief that these idiosyncratic secrets hold key hints as to how all of us may better approach our relationship with the natural world, each of our inner worlds, and our collective world.

I am often found roving the Japanese countryside in search of wisdoms that live within the organic fabric of people like grandmas, ceramists, farmers, and geologists. My daily dive into the intersection of food and environmental responsibility, cultural preservation, education, and geo-political history, is structured by these conversations. They have challenged my everyday behavior and advised the way I think about my place in the world. These wisdoms have the power to inform best practices in food education, global environmental policy, regenerative agriculture, responsible consumer products, sustainable import/export and distribution, functional medicine, and simply everyday living practices.

My community education programs, Japan Food Study and Microseasonal Journaling, are intended to navigate us to a more connected relationship with our inner voice, our ancestral heritage, and the natural world that is around us and within us. Not to mention, think about and talk about delicious things!

I don't make new things. I just connect the dots between existing things so that we can see a story emerge.
