Elaine is a native Oregonian and has lived in different parts of this state, finally moving to Central Oregon in 1999. She loves Oregon, especially east of the Cascades. 

Starting in 1975, her spiritual path has braided three strands together: Eastern (Vedic) traditions, Native American spirituality, and metaphysics. She has been a member of Unity Spiritual Community of Central Oregon since 2016.

At this time, her occupation is being a “cultural catalyst”, helping hospice the death of the old culture and midwife the birth of the new one. Four years ago she launched her Cultural Butterfly Project as one way to do that.

She is currently a member of an agricultural stakeholder group addressing drought issues in Jefferson County where she lives, helping steward the group process as well as bringing resources and possibilities that the others (farmers, ranchers, ag businesses, and agencies) don’t know about. She is also very occupied with regenerating the degraded ¼ acre of land where her home is by learning about building soil health and restoring the healthy water cycle holistically in harmony with nature’s principles.

Her previous work was doing counseling, coaching, mentoring, facilitating, program development, and sales/marketing. She recently completed a year-long consensus training learning to facilitate groups and communities to find new ground and reach 100% agreement. Her educational background includes a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, a Master’s degree in Social Work and a Master’s degree in Management.

She has an amazing grown son and two amazing grown grandkids. Being in  wilderness/“wild” areas feeds her soul.
