Currency of Caring: Destination Stewardship
Our love for destinations has pushed some onto the Fodors NO LIST because"NATURE NEEDS A BREAK"
Jacquie has been looking closely at this problem for 19 years (as a visitor, resident and founder of Sustain Tahoe.org) and finds Tahoe's 'Trash Problem' is really a 'Hosting' problem. Noticing how indigenous relationships to the land, water, wildlife and air enrich and sustain the integrity of an ecosystem, the goal is now to make preservation profitable. Best way forward? Look around to notice the answers hiding in plain sight! TALK Takeaways

"Working in the field of spirituality in nature, I have heard many speakers talk about finding oneself in nature. What is unique about Jacquie is ... sharing the gift of nature..., as well as for the Earth where our shattered relationship is causing such harm. "
Beth Norcross
Executive Director
My favorite part was the hiking trip/melt down. For as much as this big city kid loves nature, Jacquie made me even more aware and conscientious about the partnership we share...with trees. Now I won't be able to watch The Lord of the Rings: scenes with the Talking Trees without thinking about Jacquie."
Her message is a testament to the boundless beauty and healing power of nature, a message that will undoubtedly continue to inspire and transform the lives of those privileged to have experienced it."
Cheyenne "The Explant Rebel" Burnett
She has inspired me to be more mindful of the earth, both as a tourist and in my personal life, and to “rewild” myself with nature. I would love to work with Jacquie again in the future, and I’d recommend her for any stage or event—she will not disappoint!"
Kimberly Parry, CMPC, CVPS
Her call to "rewild" ourselves and harmonize with the environment left a lasting impression... Jacquie offers a powerful message of conscious connection and collaboration with the world around us. Her talk encourages us to embrace our true nature, both as individuals and as a society."
Stephen Berkley
" 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 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

I hope to hear Jacquie in person sometime in the near future."
