She enjoys working with people, helping to wisely engage with their surroundings and personal economies, to create beautiful and productive relationships with land. She recently spent 7 years as the Head of Horticulture at Menla Mountain Retreat, in the heart of the Catskill Mountains, physically engaged with this remote valley, deeply observing and quietly working with the range of it’s ecosystems-from the highly cultivated to the pure wild. Menla is retreat center immersed in Tibetan Buddhism, with 365 acres of wild forest and a 65 acre campus, As a young student of architecture she spent one and a half years living and working at the visionary project of Paolo SoleriArcosanti in the late 1980’s.
