Greetings. My name is Laura Bishop. I live in a beautiful community bordering the Sierras in Northern California, just outside Sacramento. Our neighborhood is the picture of diversity; an incredibly special place which is home to a rich blend of culture, language, and spiritual distinctions.
I work as the Program Director for a non-profit organization which serves the underserved, mentally ill and addicted women and men. The organization has recently expanded its scope of practice and hired me to write clinical curriculum for all five Northern California and Bay Area centers, followed by training staff clinicians to facilitate this new curriculum at group level, in each of our centers.
Much of what I write arises from my deep sense of inner connection with nature and with my fellow travelers. In many ways my lifespan of sixty years has included a few lifetimes worth of rich experiences; fodder for stories, yet to be told!
