Kristin recently earned a Certificate in Spirituality and Social Change from Pacific School of Religion, part of the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley, CA. She co-founded and was Managing Director of Green for All, working to build an inclusive green economy. She helped design FIREROCK, a musical to engage people around climate change and has led the development and management of earth-based retreat centers, including Whispertree (formerly Bell Valley Retreat) and Tunitas Creek Ranch.
