Gabrielle Price hasn't added a story.
Greetings! I'm Gabrielle Jones Price and I've been a media
analyst for the last 7 years and a photographer for 30. I study deep
ecology and permaculture principles and with your help, I'd like to
put this new knowledge to work for others in northern Idaho.
From 2011-13, I traveled to many areas of the country in search
of human stories during major changes in our country's history as
well as our climate. The last several years I've attempted to put
roots down among a community in my own back yard in southern
Indiana. What I've discovered in these last 5 years is that my real
tribe is quite literally scattered across the globe.
An amazing member of my scattered tribe and her significant
other have offered a place to put roots down on their 10 acre
farmstead in northern Idaho. This is a part of the country I've yet
to visit but have flown over on route to Portland, another beautiful
area of Cascadia I've always carried with me. It was this area that
inspired me to choose southern Indiana after my travels in 2013. It
reminded me of the lush beauty in Oregon and it also has a stellar
permaculture community. A few mentors there I am eternally grateful
to have met and will always call friends.
But I've arrived in a place where my skills are needed in
northern Idaho and I hope you'll help me answer the call.
It is possible I will discover Northern Idaho holds treasures
that may pale in comparison to the beauty I witnessed in Oregon and
northern California. There are geological treasures in Idaho and
surrounding glacial landscapes that I am excited to explore with my
new perspective and of course, my cameras. A major point of
geological interest in the area is Lake Pend Oreille and not too
much further away, Glacier National Park.
My dream has always been a simple one: to be a subsistence
farmer. As a media analyst, I've also been 'digging' for deeper
truths in a different analysis: deep ecology and depth psychology
study. My focus on permaculture principles led me to the work of
some brilliant people whose research has been an absolute
inspiration to me this year. There will be more about this in future
posts, videos and podcasts!
This move is a big decision and not one I've taken lightly. It
has taken time for family to warm to the idea but they are excited
and my friends are incredibly supportive. Saying yes is the easy
part. I'm asking you to help me actualize this journey: by assisting
me with seed money to get my small collection of 'stuff' out there,
acquisition of needs for this 'flat-lander' once I arrive in the
mountains. The rest will be used to start building!
Once in Idaho, I'll require a used 4wd vehicle [nothing pretty
but functional]. These aren't the Appalachian mountains my mother's
family hailed from and I grew to love in my youth. These are the
foothills of the Rocky Mountains, where I'm told there are extra
seasons including 'mud season'. A compact car just is not going to
cut the mustard -- as evidenced in this video from my host -- to
prepare me for what to expect!
However, I shall not be moved by a little mud!
A door is wide open for me to walk through and grab hold of my
dream. With a little help from friends and readers, I can grab it
with both hands and share this adventure...both in book form and
other forms of media to come! There are a few sites on my bucket
list out west and I'd like to record these experiences to share with
you as well.
Any amount is generous, appreciated and allows me to share my
story with a wider audience. I have a lot of work ahead of me! Your
generous assistance will set in motion a great turning point for
this analyst, writer, photographer and soon to be farmer!
Thank you for reading and sharing this with others.
Much more to come!
Want to share in this adventure with me?
