    Hi there,
    This seems like the likeliest place to reach out to fellow permies about what's calling me.
    The last chapter of my life -- being a single parent and responsible homeowner in northern California -- has come to an end (in a good way).
    There's more time in my life now to tune into what's calling me ~ and it's feeling and looking like an island-based permaculture life. What's compelling is this newfound freedom on the outer plane that now matches the sweet freeness of my heart and soul.
    Specifically what's been calling me? The ocean. And a recent claireaudio waking dream of Moloka'i -- which I only just learned to spell today -- ans something about a red river. So this morning, I googled Moloka'i and discovered Sustainable Moloka'i, a permaculture-based eco-community aimed at creating an island-wide, 10 year long sustainability programme. This is soo COOL!

    Has anyone been to the site in Moloka'i or know anyone who has? I'd love to learn more about it and plan a visit there.

    My background:
    @font-face { font-family: "Calibri"; }@font-face { font-family: "Cambria"; }@font-face { font-family: "Century Gothic"; }p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal { margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman"; }a:link, span.MsoHyperlink { color: blue; text-decoration: underline; }a:visited, span.MsoHyperlinkFollowed { color: purple; text-decoration: underline; }div.Section1 { page: Section1; } Catherine Walker guides and transforms small to medium-sized businesses throughout the San Francisco Bay Area to become Green Certified through BAGBP https://www.greenbiz.ca.gov/AboutUs.html. Catherine also became a Certified
    Permaculture Designer in 2006, where her edible sanctuary gardens (https://permaculturesanctuaries.blogspot.com/) have taken root in Sonoma, Napa Valley and a rural community in northern France.

    Her environmental activist began in earnest in 2005, when Ms. Walker founded Worldsanctuaries.org (https://worldsanctuaries.org/) a non-profit permaculture-inspired program for creating ecosystem-friendly habitats that unexpectedly found unique expression in Nelson, Motueka, Golden Bay, New Zealand, inspiring the launch of the Mahoerangi Environmental Education Trust of New Zealand.

    In keeping with a lifelong tradition of journaling since her youth, Catherine has walked a spiritual path for over three decades, discovering valuable insights to healing, transformation and wisdom, particularly through nature. Striving to bring transformation into the basic foundation and philosophy of her own life, Catherine has taken her spiritual practices to heart and soul, living in harmony with her deepest sense of purpose and passion for life. Along with several others on this journey, she is midwifing the paradigm shift of a New Earth into existence, and is helping others do the same. (see What’s Next?)


    Ms. Walker holds a BA in Conservation Management, is a Waldorf-trained educator and Leadership Ecology graduate of the Regenerative Design Institute (https://www.regenerativedesign.org/).

    What’s Next?
    Catherine is co-creating a visionary team to develop a bright green consultancy called Alchemy of Ecology
    (
    https://alchemyofecology.blogspot.com/) that bridges the ecological practices of environmental non-profits with hospitality + eco-tourism sectors to create long-term sustainability practices that also boost local economic health.
