Descripción

Hello, we are Shan and Chan! :)
A couple of explorers in a dedicated partnership seeking to connect with communities focused on permaculture, holistic practices, natural living skills, and harmonious connection with self, other beings, and the land. We have much experience in these areas and many gifts to share on these topics as well.

We met in the Holistic Sustainability Semester at Lost Valley Education Center, having a transformational experience, and falling in love! Now we are searching for more opportunities to learn and to share our gifts!

Shannon's Description:
I am an explorer at heart, I love how traveling brings me so many opportunities to learn, grow and share; exposing me to different ways of life and new experiences. Work away seems like a great way to do this!

My interests are in permaculture, NVC (compassionate communicaion), natural building, alternative medicines, and learning things that will contribute to the well-being of myself and others. I have certification in Permaculture Design, Eco Village Design, Yoga, and Thai Massage, though I consider myself an ongoing student in them all. I also love to practice meditation, breathwork, Qi Gong/Tai Chi, and share this with those who are interested.
I enjoy spending my time in natural surroundings as much as possible, although I do appreciate cities for the diversity and things they have to offer (libraries, arts, food etc...)
One of my favorite things in life is listening to people play music, and singing (especially in spontaneous jam sessions), although seeing people do anything they are passionate about fills me with immense joy. I also get a lot of pleasure from being creative and/or contributing to others' creations. Living in joy and in harmony is what I aim for, finding ways to embody that and create this is my journey.

Chandler's Description:
Hello! My name is Chandler, and I'm ready to explore the world! I have an insatiable curiosity, and I love to adventure, explore, and learn everything I can. I'm constantly seeking wisdom and experience for living in harmony with the natural world and promoting the health and balance of myself and others. I study and practice a variety of topics, such as permaculture, nutrition, organic gardening, eco-friendly architecture, herbalism, music, art, yoga, tai chi, meditation, and many more in my quest to gain a holistic perspective of myself and the world. I have much experience with conservation, working with plants, communication, and music! I've done little traveling in my life, but now I'm ready to learn from the many perspectives beyond my home, and see the world at large!

Chandler's Skills
Overall, I'm a very fast learner, and I'm a jack of all trades with experience in many fields, from communications and leadership, to writing, to landscaping, to gardening, to computers, to music, artistry, and more!

I am certified in Permaculture Design (PDC), Ecovillage Design (EDE) and Intentional Community Immersion (ICI). I have spent over a year living at Lost Valley Education Center, working as a land steward, a teacher, and a volunteer for the Board of Directors as both Vice President and President.

I have a lot of experience with gardening, farming, landscaping, and environmental conservation in non-profit organizations. Much of my work in the outdoors has been in wildfire prevention, mitigation, and restoration! I would love to share what I know to help communities around the world become more fire safe and resilient!

I'm very capable with hand tools, and some power tools as well.

I have significant experience in leadership, team-building, communications (non-violent), conflict resolution, and alternative governance (sociocracy).

I'm knowledgeable about physical health, plants, ecosystems, meditation and spirituality. I also have a good foundation in general sciences and mathematics.

I am certified as a Sawyer (safely using chainsaws), as well as in Wilderness First Aid and CPR.

I also have some experience with construction, woodworking, leatherworking, and general crafting, as well as demolitions. I've also been told that I'm an excellent driver.

I love to cook, and I'm very skilled at cleaning and general house care!

I'm physically fit, flexible, and level-headed. Health is one of the most important things in my life. I study it actively, and it's my passion to help others become more healthy in body, mind, and spirit. I have a variety of techniques to keep me healthy, centered and productive.



Our goal is to take a holistic approach to life, weaving all of our skills together into a balanced whole. What we learn in one area can be applied to other areas, deepening the connections we have with ourselves and the world. This web of interconnection grows our understanding of the Universe, and helps us see the Spirit within. To know that Spirit is our ultimate goal, and great joy.
