Jacquie Chandler’s creative journey includes; designing and manufacturing her own line of clothing, marketing/media, Instructor, Corporate Story Coach, Airbnb Superhost and mother. A chance encounter with a Veteran healing war wounds in a Rain Forest (led to a TV Show) and an earth-based fitness practice called The Earthgym. A relocation to Lake Tahoe got her exploring the disconnects between presevation and profit, then after seeing a presentation on how travelers will 'pay to protect' she started SustainTahoe.org and set off an unexpected journey that became her calling.

TALK: The Currency of Caring |
" Jacquie not only has a great stage presence and keeps people interested in what she's saying, but the words are pictures she paints. One that really stood out to me was "A caring currency for a sacred land". That is a statement that sums up how I feel about Lake Tahoe and the Sierras. Since she's been a designer during her life, I think she adheres to an axiom stated by Robert Schumann
“To send light into the darkness of men’s hearts--such is the duty of the artist.”
I hope to hear Jacquie in person sometime in the near future." Joan DJ Timpany, Santa Cruz, CA
