Authors
The writers behind this newsletter.
I write about connections - between people, birds, nature, and ideas. My three Substacks are: Viv McWaters (personal musings), Radical Acts (unconventional wisdom), and Travels with Birds (birdwatching).
Lee loves it when she can help people discover their own brilliance. She led the facilitation of Aotearoa’s first citizen assembly. Lee also has the world’s best dog, Mac, who is still training her in the art of stick throwing.
Johnnie Moore, facilitator/trainer/writer
