Dancing Rabbit's Board helps provide guidance to the group on crucial issues,
as well as volunteers on various projects, such as research, publicity,
networking, etc. Here's a little bit of information about the current board
members.
- Jacob Corvidae
- Jacob is a former member of Dancing Rabbit and Skyhouse
and has served on the board since 1997. He currently oversees Dancing Rabbit's land
management efforts from afar. A native of Michigan (and graduate of Kalamazoo College),
he is committed to midwestern environmental issues. He lives in Detroit,
where he is working to develop an urban ecovillage as part of the
Adamah project. His
partner, Timothy Jean, is also a former DR member, although their daughter, Indigo,
has sadly missed out on that distinction so far.
While Jacob lived at Dancing Rabbit he also wrote (sporadically) a series of public journal entries
called The Sedentary Travelogues. He also wrote a column called Eco To Go for our March Hare newsletter about taking the ecovillage lifestyle to the city .
- David Courard-Hauri
- David has been involved in the development of DR ever
since the early "concept" days, when "involvement"
constituted lying on a hill with Cecil and wondering if
they'd be cold. He will be remembered by history
(fondly or not) as the guy who first drew the little
bunny-under-the-moon logo. Life choices took him in a
different direction, and he now teaches Envrionmental
Science and Policy at Drake University in Des Moines
(work
web page). He is married to free-lance technical
editor Frederique (also an early conceptualizer in DR),
and they have two children: Kayleigh and Julianna (home
web page). After his Doctorate in Physical
Chemistry, David headed back to school for a Masters in
Public Affairs in an attempt to connect his science and
policy interests. David's current research is generally
in the areas of climate dynamics and economic
descision-making systems. Other than his family, he is
most proud of his prolific cherry trees and has high
hopes for his recently planted currant/elderberry
hedge.
- Alyson Ewald
- A current member of Red Earth, Alyson comes to us from many years
of living and working with nonprofit organizations in Eastern Europe. After
receiving a BA in English from Bates College, she moved to Russia in 1991 to
teach English and study Russian. Over the following nine years she lived and
worked with groups in Russia, Ukraine, Hungary, and Croatia, organizing
educational exchanges, creating activist training programs, blockading nuclear
power plant construction sites, playing percussion while wearing a jester
costume and walking on stilts, and working to form a land-based sustainable
international activist community. She returned to the US at the end of 1999.
In Missouri she spends her time building her house, helping to raise money for
the FIC, Red Earth, and DR, swimming in the pond, making sure the jam gets
made, and taking out the garbage. She continues consulting for a former
employer, the Sacred Earth Network, which means she gets to return to Russia
once in a while to help out her environmental activist friends and to ride
those great big long-distance trains.
