Sharing My Journey
My name is David Johnson.
After studying for an undergraduate degree in Computer Science I set off for a few years of travel. It was during this time that I bumped into, almost literally, Tibetan Buddhism, as well as developing an interest in environmental concerns.
On my return to the UK I became involved with a Tibetan Buddhist sangha and moved to their Retreat Centre in South Wales.
Six years later I moved next door to a piece of land that I had purchased and built an ecological house. This house won a number of awards.
Wishing to explore the overlap of spirituality, psychology and our connection with the natural world, I enrolled in a graduate program at Naropa University, Boulder, CO in Transpersonal Psychology with a concentration in Ecopsychology. I graduated with Masters Degree from Naropa in 2006.
In 2007 I moved to Portland, Oregon.
Since moving to Portland, I have helped bring the Transition Initiative to Portland, TransitionPDX. I am also on the Board of Transition US.
I recently (finally) completed a two week Permaculture Design Course, and a great one it was as well!
