Founder/Chief Connector
Paul Hemminger
My story is one of 'curious connector'. I work at personal healing, becoming well in all dimensions of life as a Beloved son. My most important roles are husband and father to 3. I seek to overflow health that brings healing, love and life into the world. I steward this connecting and story-telling work. Icons below expose different aspects of my life and design.

Maybe You?
If you are drawn to this work, let's explore. You may care about a certain cause, your community, or the interdependent healing and flourishing of a whole region. You may want to take a tiny-step up a low-grade on-ramp, or you may want to drop your nets, jump into the deep end, and climb the high-grade. Maybe you are being invited. Let's figure it out.
