Juno grew up with their feet in the soil of the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, exploring spiritual connections in the forest and on the farm. Currently Juno is an Apprentice with the Ancient Order of Druids in America and a steward of the Wilderness Between, a DC metro-area Druid-adjacent group. If they’re not at home crafting, petting cats or digging in the garden, you can find them in the woods wading in creeks and telling the trees they’re beautiful. Kids’ activities will be assisted by their son Tyson.
