I have written my first book. A chronicle of a smalltown HS basketball season, the impact it had on the individuals involved and the community around it. All of the content is complete but I want to ensure all grammar, punctuation, consistency are correct before I send the doc to my formatter. I've read my own work so many times it is easy to overlook or miss things. Is this a project of interest? It's roughly 150 pages (6x9 paperback) and reads fairly quickly. Looking forward to communicating with you! Here is a link to the sizzle reel for the story... https://vimeo.com/1184573216?fl=pl&fe=sh

After being guided to release the film for free and share these findings, people took it to heart. A community sprang up – full of knowledge seekers looking for more information about natural health, plant medicine, energy healing and general wisdom from ancient cultures. And their continual hunger to learn more, live better, and reconnect with our planet has fueled us in our mission to document, preserve and share this knowledge… before it’s gone. We do that through films, multi-part docu-series, books, articles, video collections and online workshops with our favorite teachers. We're not here to tell you what to do - rather, we're here to show you what's out there and what works, and nudge you to do your own homework and research as it relates to your own health and life journey. At the end of the day, for our community and for our team, it all comes down to these two words: Stay Curious
