Urania
Urania ~ I make my home north of San Francisco among the rolling hills of Marin County.

I took my first Reclaiming class in 1991 and was invited to student teach in the San Francisco Bay Area Community in 1993. I’ve done most everything from schlepping to bookkeeping to ritual planning, teaching, founding cells, and general rabble rousing. My life is richer for having walked this path.
