Permatours invites multi-generational change makers to join us as we travel to volunteer around regenerative projects, including building alternative structures and shelters, planting food forests and permaculture gardens, filtering water, redistributing waste streams, working with renewable energy, and co-creating meaningful experiences that foster authentic self-expression and connection.At each stop on tour we strive to interview our hosts, capture the education offered, reward regenerative behaviors and volunteers with SEEDS cryptocurrency, and sing, dance, drum, and LOVE around the fire. We encourage participants to practice radical self-reliance (with support from community) – bringing everything they need to thrive: food, water, camping equipment, and other goods – i.e. first aid kits, bug spray, sunscreen, etc.Our goal is to foster education, cross-community collaboration, experimentation around alternative forms of trade and exchange, volunteerism, connection, ecological and environmental impact, creativity of many forms, and LOVE!

LIFTED Outdoors aims to lift businesses, non-profits, individuals, and most importantly youth to new heights by expanding and unifying the funding stream to organizations that offer outdoor youth enrichment programs.Obesity, increased screen-time, and mental health are serious problems that affect the youth of today. Outdoor activities and fostering a connection to nature are solutions to these problems. However, with the high cost of gear and lack of experience and understanding of how to stay safe outside, getting outdoors can be difficult for inner city and lower income families. LIFTED Outdoors aims to increase the budgets of outdoor youth organizations so they can offer more programs and give more youth the enjoyment of feeling 'lifted' outdoors.LIFTED Outdoors is creating a new fundraising stream for outdoor youth organizations through check-out charity campaigns at sports retailers. Check-out charity or point-of-sale campaigns have proven very successful for organizations such as the Children’s Miracle Network which was able to raise ~$3MM in one year through their campaigns at Walmart. LO will capitalize on this proven strategy by hosting fundraising events at stores that want to get more people outside and patrons that understand what a gift it is to be outdoors. LO will keep 4% of funds raised to cover operating costs. LO campaigns provide a way for stores and outdoor enthusiasts to give back and to promote children's health and wellness by getting kids outside!

A festival is a monumentous undertaking; building a temporary inspiration cultivating civilization for four days to imbue a sense of this is what life could be like possibility that ripples out beyond - is no small task. I was lucky enough to be part of the collective journey to bring the Unifier Festival to it's full brightness June 20-23, 2019. I collaboratively coalesced 56 brilliant teachers/instructors/guides to offer their gifts to the Unifier community with workshops ranging from Kundalini Yoga, Thai massage, permaculture, dance & meditative movement, healing our stories, daily integration, sound journeys, and so much more. It was truly spectacular to see these offerings come together and to see the impact in peoples smiles as they walked blessing the festival grounds with their presence. It is my heart-filled passion to work to bring people together for meaningful experiences. I will always be open to more opportunities to come my way to do so.
