I'm Tangelina and I grew up in the backcountry of Eastern Oregon on a farm and much of the time in the wilderness. I mention this first because my upbringing has had a significant impact on my life's path and what I'm super motivated to co-create in this world. Having such a perspective on life really showed me the value of our relationships with the environment, our communities, families, and the natural resources around us. I highly value our birthright to be fully empowered and connected to our natural environments.
Therefore I have a deep desire to facilitate these kinections whether that's through the healing arts, spirituality, martial arts, outdoor recreation, gardening, performance art, storytelling, or plain old loving our neighbors.
I grew up in the 80s and it could have been partly the 1880s since Eastern Oregon is primarily Cowboy and Indian culture. In that wild Wild West environment I learned to be patient and tolerant of worldviews that are not my own. I've had four decades to explore, discover, learn, grow, and create and I can with full confidence say that I'm only just beginning! I'm excited for this next chapter and all its wonderous transitional technologies.
