why, how, what
I do what I do to provide a way to recover our lost selves, so that we can restore the world to its original splendor and live full lives in it.
I search nature for ways to accomplish this. She shows me, and I develop them into simple means anyone can use.
I wrote a book about the main one: the means she provides us to heal from trauma, the cause of our painful losses. I also offer this means as a service.
How about it?

I design and build darkrooms in existing buildings as part of supporting retreats.

From scratch, I build my own designs and those with the same or better qualities. See my hygienic house for some of my latest thinking. A vaulted mobile shelter is also in the works.
