This photo was taken at Rick Kleins on Lama Mountain, in New Mexico, during a lighting storm.  Rick is an elder and very dear to me.  My work has been immeasurably influenced by my relationship with him and his relationship with Lama Mountain and this land.  

About James

James has taught NonViolent Communication for over 13 years, and trauma informed education for the last 7 years.  He is still the lead educator for Echo Parenting & Education.  He now works at Wolf Connection, where he supervises all in-person programing.  At both Echo and Wolf Connection he has been fortunate enough to update, and rewrite their curriculums.  He has learned and grown while doing so.  The single day classes provided here are the continuation of this work, while integrating ritual and decolonial framings to deepen and broaden the offerings.
