Fifty Lanterns International is a Minnesota-based nonprofit
organization that partners with established humanitarian groups to
provide disadvantaged communities with renewable energy sources such
as solar-power lights, lanterns, and water pumps.
Ever since I heard about 50 Lanterns work, I have been
finding ways to support them. I lead regular song circles that benefit
their work (see calendar) and a recent CD (Coming Home -- see product
catalog) also helps purchase solar technology for people in need.

Heartland connects, gathers and convenes leaders who are changing
the world through vision in action.
Heartland's network and programs serve those called to be our social

to themselves, their organizations, and their communities.
I have been the 'muse's for Heartland's Thought Leader
Gatherings in the Twin Cities for the past 6 years. I also make appearances
at the Bay Area gatherings whenever I'm able. These gatherings have
offered me rich insights and warm relationships as well as wonderful
ideas for songs.
HWW provides a Place to honor women's contributions,
history, sacred customs, societal advances, and impact on humankind

great vision.
