Beth grew up on the ancestral lands of the Haudenosaunee people in upstate New York.  Childhood experiences in nature camp and school exposed her to the indigenous wisdom of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy which resonated deeply with her and planted the seeds for a future that would become dedicated to helping to create a life-sustaining society.

In 2008, after a career in academic publishing, Beth founded Zola Goods, a green business created to help people shift to a more sustainable lifestyle. After seven years, and a rapidly changing marketplace, Beth phased out the retail aspect of Zola so that she could focus on what she loved most about that venture: educating and empowering groups of people on how they can make a positive difference in the world.

Drawn to deep ecology, indigenous wisdom, environmental and social justice, nature connection, systems theory, biomimicry, permaculture, sustainability, herbalism, earth skills, yoga, meditation, mindfulness, and spirituality, Beth’s workshops burgeon with possibilities. Her natural curiosity, optimism, and years spent as a youth sports coach, combine to make Beth’s facilitation style encouraging and inspirational.

Especially motivated by her children, step-grandchildren, and all of the future generations, Beth is devoted to helping create a more sustainable, just and peaceful world where all beings can thrive.
