I am Christine, Mom to 2 great kids, wife of the Food Ninja, West Seattleite since 2004, imported from Munich, online since 1995, passionate about nature connection, future trends, cultivation of interconnection, trees and bees, travelling, education, livelong learning and collaboration.
​

​I like listening to passionate people and sharing my stories to connect and inspire the people around me to live their fullest, joyful lives

Some of my latest passions:

- bringing out my inner Lorax, tree planting, volunteering, conservation
- working on an inter-generational community fire,
- facilitating rite of passage ceremonies for life transitions,
- creating a neighborhood social hub network or nature playgrounds for all ages,
- sharing nature stories, going on wanders,
- organizing a Restoration Summer Camp for all ages in rural wilderness areas,
- being part of a Deep Listening group, what a gift,

- creative challenges for my playfulness and curiosity like art projects for Critical and SOAK.
- opportunities to do more great work,  
​- and building vibrant, thriving communities.

​Connecting people and resources, collaborating on ideas and creating innovation are my big passions. I am a trained and experienced facilitator and group mentor and find it very satisfying if everyone in a group feels connected and motivated to participate. My mission is to hear everyone. Often the quietest participants have the best ideas and as an extroverted introvert, my goal is to bring out the best in everyone. A group can achieve giant accomplishments with the right guidance. ​Never doubt that a small group... 

​What I like doing as group facilitator and the feedback I got from my participants:
She is just real. She has string facilitation skills. 
She does a good job of keeping us on task and time. She is very organized, very easy leader.
Many creative ideas, very committed, result-oriented, compassionate, easy going.
She models a casual discussion style that works great for groups.
