Michele has known Lynnaea Lumbard since the late 1980’s when she was a client of the national workshop company Lynnaea had co-founded. Over the course of that work she became interested in the fields of consciousness, energy work and interfaith spirituality, and has been supporting Lynnaea’s work in various ways since that time. She is an experienced Voice Dialogue  facilitator and has led a community solstice ritual for almost 20 years.

With a deep love of nature, Michele, along with her husband Steve, has led small groups on desert camping trips and loves to introduce people to both the vastness and intimacy of that landscape. She never stops being awed by the diversity of all things – plants, animals, rocks, but particularly the similarities and differences between people and cultures of the world. She has traveled to many countries including India, China, Morocco, Guatemala and much of western Europe.

Michele brings her sense of beauty and order to the NewStories growing family of websites. She provides technical support, design skills, as well as copy-editing to all the sites and has taken on a growing role as a contributor to the Great Transition Stories site.
