PAM PENCE - facilitator, healer, business manager and COO of Stable Planet Alliance
Pam is a dedicated humanity and Earth advocate, applying her business, somatic trauma healing, generative discussions facilitator and spiritual guide skills where ever she is led! She’s earned her MBA, CPA, and various certificates as yoga therapist, practitioner of healing modalities and meditation teacher over several careers. Pam awoke to our ecological overshoot after the start of the Covid pandemic, noticing how the sheer number of humans was exacerbating all other issues. With her long-time spiritual perspective she sees that our deeply imbedded belief in separation causes disconnection from ourselves, other humans, non-human beings, ecosystems, and Earth. Pam is working on telling a new story of inter-connectedness and all the beauty and quality of life that can come from this paradigm shift.
