Biography: Patricia Mikkelson

I am wife of Robert and mother of two wonderful teen agers, Chris and Mahriyanna, and former wife of my dear friend Cliff. We all own land in Kingston, AR where we envision having a Wellspring Ecovillage where we have a wonderful community. My main project right now can be found at www.fayettevillegoeslocal.wordpress.com We are working on a pilot project that can form unity between all the diverse people in our society--by appealing to their concern about the state of the economy. Everyone is concerned on some level--for themselves, for others, for an opportunity to make a difference. I am a follower of Jesus and love the new reformation that is taking place with an emphasis on having a relationship with Jesus, co-creating the kingdom of God on earth with Jesus, God, Holy Spirit and everyone else who wants to work together--whether they be followers of Jesus or not. Non-violent communication as taught by Marshall Rosenber has been one of the greatest gifts i have received and used, having learned it when my son was in my womb twenty years ago. www.cnvc.org Open Space Technology is something I am also passionate about. www.openspaceworld.org I hope you will communicate with me if you feel so drawn. I love you!
