The Pollinator — wanderings of joy and justice.
My monthly Substack newsletter explores ways of being that might sustain us and the planet.

I ask meaningful questions rather than offer answers, to foster conversation and connection. Each piece is an invitation to cultivate wise hope.

I first read it after meeting Joan and being dazzled by her wisdom and insights during a retreat in January 2024. Each time I pick up the book, Joan’s framework and detailed examples bring new light to my experiences.
