Welcome James! Carol Look also lives in NYC and sounds similar about all the ways it nourishes her. Although I’m a mountain boy myself, I do appreciate sharing a person’s enthusiasm when they find their “home territory.”
We’re starting the Real Skills Workshops and it would be awesome to hear from you which skill(s) matter most to you right now. There’s a little poll at the previous link for you, if you’re willing.
It’s great to have you with us!
