deanna became intrigued by the local
currency idea about five years prior to this group's commencement. reading
something somewhere now forgotten but for the concept, she thought it to
be a fantastic idea to pursue. more recently she found herself researching
alternative models of economics to tie together some key points in her
02002 bachelor's thesis at marylhurst university. local currency can be an
important component to self-sufficient community building, and she jumped
at the chance to help coax the gorge community in that direction. Curriculum Vitae |

I grew up in America's National
Parks with a powerful love of Mother Nature and a strong vision of a
world in balance. My degree in Fine Arts unfolded into work with
small children, a family child care business, while my own children
were growing up. We were and are homeschoolers: community learners.
My experiences with small children expanded into an interest in
Astrology, which is a language, a tool for self awareness.
Understanding our inner workings is helpful in working with others,
especially those only beginning on the verbal adventures of life,
which is a circle back to a powerful love of Mother Nature and a
strong vision of a world in balance. My interest in peace, justice,
ecology and spiritual issues stems from that vision and a faith that
calls for my response to the world issues of my lifetime. My
interest in Local Currency was sparked at a Bioneers conference
several years ago. It was and is a stunning concept for a world
desperately out of balance. (Bioneers are an international group of
those pioneering people at the leading edge of solutions all over
the planet for social change, thru biomimicry and healing. We call
it Revolution from the Heart of Nature.) Resumé
