I’ll write an update shortly after my next visit to the Spirit of the North.As the director of programs for Climate Innovation, Jaime provides leadership, strategy, and support to Climate Innovation programs that advance approaches to community-driven planning and movement building, while centering on racial equity and whole-systems solutions.

Most of my responses included an ahhhh … or a groan as I relaxed further.

I told her about areas of stress in my body, old injuries that tend to have chronic issues, even about sinus problems.
