February 19th, 4pm My guest on Coastal Airwaves will be Bioneers co-founder Nina Simons
Her book, Nature, Culture, and the Sacred: A Woman Listens for Leadership, won a gold Nautilus Award in the categories of Women in the 21st Century and Racial Justice. In it, she offers inspiration through essays, poems and practices for anyone who aspires to grow into their own unique form of leadership with resilience and joy. Nina also co-edited (with Anneke Campbell) Moonrise: The Power of Women Leading from the Heart, and contributed to the anthology Ecological and Social Healing: Multicultural Women’s Voices. Nina has collaborated to lead Bioneers since its founding in 1990, leads many gatherings, and does so many things it’s somewhat hard to name them all. She loves revealing the interconnectedness, or whole-system nature, of the many challenges we face, and creating the conditions for transformative learning in beloved community.

January was exhausting It is hard to be a Person now. I am trying to slow down but lots going on. Work & Play on art, and yard and house clean up. Mowing weeding constant, grass is high again, 2 exhibitions, and my ATT internet failed for a lot of Jan. Muir Beach Land dug in literally after I could not finish the long trench. It is working good and the guys were sooooo nice and knowledgeable. As January started I went out once to see Monroe Grisman and Petty Theft in Rancho Nicasio. Music was great to Dance to and I got surprised and excited when several of the younger women I was dancing with told me how good I was dancing that was very sweet. I didn’t like when I arrived and they had put on eight dollars more on the ticket that was advertised as $32. I’m not used to that. I got over it with the dance.
FEB 1 I went to Evie Ladens program MoToR/dance, PEOPLE ARE YOU READY in the Bolinas Community Center. I think a lot of people really weren’t ready and just came and found a sold out whole room just buzzing and being communal and we all joined in with some singing and body language with the group of women performing.

I really enjoyed it and her.

It was on the day of Chris Kelley’s memorial. It was so deep and beautiful in every way and everybody was deeply in it. People talked about him for so long unlike me I was short and sweet (Surprize.) He was so loved. I have a special soft spot for him. There were at least 400 friends but it looked like 1000. My son Merlin came from Venice Beach for 2 days, all friends of Chris and Merlin’s were there and all grown up. They knew who I was but ….
