S'mores Stories: “Waking-up, Getting Clear, & Taking Action with Earth in Mind & Heart”
Kristen Fletcher cares and cares deeply… about Earth and all her beings, especially dogs and oceans and trees. You can sense it in her voice and see it in her smile when she talks about her experiences working to protect and preserve the oceans and coasts as an environmental lawyer, as well as how she gets to know a place by letting her canine companion teach her about being present, being curious. Through her camera lens, she engages deeply with all forms of life, capturing everything from “the smallest curiosity to the epiphany that is in that wave.”
Tune in to hear Kristen’s stories of:
Intentional connection to place through the camera and through activism;
Being alive with the mystery;
Richness of what we receive when we offer and live in relationships of reciprocity.
Inspired by the world outdoors since she was a child, Kristen truly brings her heart, wisdom and devotion to being of service in the world.
