Mesa Refuge played a critical role in my transition from nonprofit executive to author—helping me find my voice when I needed it most. Mesa’s grassroots orientation makes it a rare jewel among residencies.
On my last day, I felt honored to add my name to the long list of creators and thought leaders who have passed through Mesa Refuge.
In the midst of seismic change, the time and space to think expansively is a true gift.
I wrote at the edge of the restored wetlands of Tomales Bay. Like grief, the terrain was in constant flux.
