Forest Gardener

Forest works on the land and with his hands. His aim is to

He is a skilled sweat lodge facilitator, orator, woodsman. And since moving out to the hollers has learned animal husbandry from the locals.

Forest was born in the late 50’s into a fourth generation working class pioneer family in Western Montana.

Growing up in the great outdoors and spending time on the nearby reservation, he developed an ingrained passion for the earth, a more indigenous way of living and all nature related activities.

At the age of 12 Forest wrote a prize-winning poem about the plight of the earth at man’s hands.

He wanted to be a farmer but his family and educators made him believe it was not a good life.  He forgives them for not understanding what he could not articulate at the time.

From that time, he has been a life long seeker after spiritual truth. He begun by exploring and practicing yoga, aikido, shamanism, dance, drama, indigenous traditions, religious history, spiritual schools of thought, esoteric arts and ancient mythology.

Forest believes that spiritual growth doesn’t come from knowledge but from life experience and the practice of self awareness and the willingness to work on oneself.

He spoke at the Harmonic Emergence event in 1987 and while on his way to a meeting of Native Elders, he was diverted.

He spent twenty years living in Atlanta – the asphalt jungle – He has lived in communes, trailer houses, the woods, school buses, RV parks and suburban luxury which gave him a wide awarenes of how the current system operates on different lebels.

His current location, in a back rural ‘holler’ in the Georgia Mountains was chosen as a leaping off point to activate the Forest Garden plan.

Forest endeavors to live his life as an act of love for God, The Force, The Greater Than Self.

If he has no paid work, he operates from the gift economy offering his labor to those who need it. As a result he has lived in abundance – because he needs so little.

He is determned to see a world covered with food forests and to encourage people to use their land wisely and for their own and the greater good.

He is also a craftsman and artist who has been using digital graphic technology, flash and animation since is inception in the early 90’s.

Forest also designs and hand crafts one off Pathfinder Light Sticks [an illuminated walking stick] which can be found in their store on Enlightenment Technology.com.


Forest is the father of two sons aged 14 and 12 as of 2011

    Blessings
    I have room for about 80 to 100 spiritual people who can and want to live with Mother Earth (see my URI) This is high desert and looks like we are getting the rain and snow we been needing for the last few years where we will have grass for the animals and will be able to plant a garden this year. As you look at my site you will see the land agreements where I am giving the space to others to use as a family-tribe.
    You can contact me on my cell (702)459-6832
    So far I been picking up things to recycle into homes and work buildings.
    Just now am at the point where my heath is not the best and need the people who are ready to take this big step I took five years ago when I was ask by spirit to give up my Reiki teaching in Las Vegas and my home there to move out here on 82 acres. The number of people comes from using half the land for spiritual space and gardens and that leaves about half acre per family or so.This is way back in off the HW outside of St.Johns<AZ,at this time I can support one family with food and use what is here to help them build a brown home. I am not rich with money as all I have goes back into the land. But do some trading at this time and I see that is going be come more as time goes on.
    May each day teach us all what we need for that moment.
    What we learn each day is what teaches others as we use what we learn.
    How we live our life teaches others,what we believe and who we are.
    So we are what we show others.
    We live each day fully by being true to ourselves in all ways

    Usage of the image: In the book only, not on the cover.
