Carolyn North

Carolyn North teaches movement and sound improvisation for healing. She is an environmental innovator and the founder of the Daily Bread Project, a community hunger organization. She is the author of Earth Above, Heaven Below and Voices Out of Stone. She and her husband were members of the Findhorn-inspired community, Shenoa, in Northern California, where she designed the community’s mandala garden and they built the world’s first Permitted rice-strawbale house. She considers herself to be a social activist who uses innovative arts and meditative practice as ways to promote the expansion of consciousness, and she takes great pleasure in all the different forms it takes. She lives in Berkeley, California, with her husband and has three married children, four grandchildren, and two god-grandchildren.
