Michele experiences the universe as striving to be fuller and better in spite of the ‘growing edges’ apparent in its individuals and collectives. As a participant in Well programs, she has practical knowledge of the depth and potential of Well for the Journey. Her extrinsic experiences of the Well, in addition to her intrinsic commitment to spiritual growth, fuel her willingness to contribute her time to the Well. Michele’s career path has included school teacher, designer of enrichment programs for youth and adults, and agent of change with the criminal and marginalized of society. Michele believes we impact the world one individual at a time by treating each person with respect and dignity because so many life lessons are ‘caught rather than taught.’ Although she has been retired from full-time work for ten years she continues her mission of promoting peace and healing in the universe as a licensed massage therapist and T’ai Chi Chih instructor.
