Hello, fellow FEELers! We are returning a little more slowly this year… the summer months brought many challenges, not least the catastrophic drought and the wildfires which were felt by all of us in this place, in different ways. The late September rain was very welcome, and had me (as a settler here) contemplating one… Continue reading Returning…

A year in the FEELed (2022/2023)

Fast forward,… Continue reading A year in the FEELed (2022/2023)

My research topic… Continue reading Restful Reflections

As… Continue reading Water + Fire
