BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Tim Eicher, M.Ed.
Professor, Family and Consumer Sciences, Dixie State College



Tim approaches the teaching-learning interaction holistically. "The teaching-learning experience flows best through meaningful relationships that are characterized by honest and open exchange in an atmosphere free from judgment and negativity. Cultural values and principles that balance and heal our relationships are the vehicles for transmission of ideas and concepts."

Penelope Eicher, M.S.
Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, Private Practice



Penelope's years living and working with indigenous Navajo and Hualapai peoples, as well as visits to war-torn El Salvador and Palestine, have shaped her belief that community relations are the vital core to our well-being. "Traditional indigenous communities have much to teach us about how to live in balance. The shamanic traditions can help heal what ails us in the west."

Kenneth Boche, M.A.
Entrepreneur, Teacher, Facilitator, Geographer.



As a permaculture designer and teacher, Ken is grounded in the values on which that sustainability design system is based: “Taking responsibility for our own existence and that of our children; Care of people; Care of the Earth; Recognizing the need for limits to population and consumption.” His passions include working with people and their local habitats, with appropriate plants, animals, and other resources to create living systems and maintain cultural traditions that are healthy, renewable, and life-sustaining.
