Our relationship began in 2001. Connection to our basic needs has been a core value throughout over twenty years together.

This connection and cooperation has enabled us to partially withdraw from the violent and oppressive economic systems that we are determined to uproot.

This is sometimes romantic

The past twenty years have been, for us, a slow process of coming to terms with the implications of our global ecological and environmental justice crisis. Our intial response was to focus our attention on directly producing our basic needs and reevaluating what those needs actually are. Much of that story is the subject of our first book Sacred Violence (2017).

Our daughter Zinnia was born in 2013, and we live with her in a sculpture we have built from mud, trees, garbage, and some products of industries we'd rather have nothing to do with.

We are continually dancing, (often awkwardly) between our values and the constraints of our dystopian culture. We acknowledge that various forms of privilege are undoubtedly instrumental in any degree of success we've had in withdrawing from the violent and oppressive systems we detest. We are therefore committed to providing space, expertise, and aid to people seeking either refuge from those systems, or who are seeking to build their own havens. We're committed to reminding each other that all of our work—whether it be in education, farming, birth, theatre, or whatever—should be centered in this effort to protect people who are most at risk from the environmental justice crisis, and to defend threatened wild places.

Terra Currie Feather is a weaver of story and healer of culture whose joyful reverence for the sacredness of life's transformational stages brought her to doula and education work. Terra began attending births 20 years ago as well as supporting rites of passages such as death and puberty around the same time. Terra brings her background in experiential education, performance art, and music to her clients as well. Terra's compassionate and integrative approach as a full season Thresholds Doula, art processing facilitator, yoga teacher (including prenatal and postpartum certification,) certified red tent facilitator, and certified childbirth educator and doula, draws deeply on her passion for social justice, her connection with medicine plants, earth skills, music and intuition, and the ancient stories that have shaped our individual and collective psyches. In addition to her work as a thresholds doula and rights of passage guide, Terra is also an earthskills teacher, artist, storyteller, song carrier, homesteader, wife and mother.
