Q: What is something you love about where you live?

A: What I love most are our family walks, where the dappled light through Detroit's tree-lined streets blesses our crew of five. With my wife and our three kids, we forage for plant medicine, turning our neighborhood into a living classroom and a sacred space. In those moments, we are more than a family; we are a small community of learners, discovering that the deepest roots of healing and connection are woven right here, beneath our feet.
