I'm a writer and researcher in applied ecopsychology. I help people and communities understand how their relationships with place shape wellbeing, learning, and development.For 30 years, I've been paying close attention: to my own gardens across three states, to how people recognize themselves in the places they inhabit, to what happens when we slow down and notice. This practice, gardening, writing, listening, living, is where my thinking actually happens.Grene Journal shares my weekly thinking. Each week, I write about what I'm noticing: how seasons shape us, how soil tells a story, what privacy and restoration actually mean, how children and adults need different things from the same neighborhood. (Formerly the Sunday Letter, reopens September 27, 2026)At the end of each season, I gather these into curated collections and archives.People often reach out to think together about these questions in their own places and communities. Those conversations are part of this work.
