Kasii is an aspiring homemaker, homeschooler, and homesteader raising both kids and animals. Kasii and her mountain man chose Vermont’s NEK to raise their five energetic, nature-loving children. She wades among piles of laundry, art supplies, and compost, working her way to a more sustainable, self-sufficient lifestyle. She has a passion for trees, positive energy, and connecting with other humans. She especially loves creating circles for moms to share the joys and pains of raising kids. Trained in Mindfulness and Mindful Parenting by Hunter Clarke-Fields, Kasii facilitates opportunities for parents in the NEK to connect, learn self-awareness through mindfulness strategies, and gain helpful tools to communicate thoughtfully with their children.
