Linda is one of the co-founders of Two Crow Healing. She is a former Peace Corps Volunteer in South Africa, where she was doing HIV/AIDS counseling and testing. She served as Amnesty International’s South African Country Specialist for 10 years. In addition to her work in South Africa, she also volunteered with Amnesty International in Paraguay. There she worked on Amnesty’s Stop Violence against Women (No Más Violencia contra la Mujer) and Keep Arms Under Control (Armas Bajo Control) campaigns. With a Masters in International Policy, Human Rights, Justice and Norms, focusing specifically on the relationship of gender based violence and HIV/AIDS, Linda cares deeply about the effects of trauma on the body.

Linda has been a yoga practitioner for over 15 years and spent the last 10 years studying Buddhism and the art of meditation. She participates in Native American sweat lodges and sacred ceremonies. These practices have taught her the richness of these traditions and the need for all humans to reconnect with the Great Mystery.

Joseph is one of the co-founders of Two Crow Healing. He is a network engineer with over 20 years of experiencing designing and implementing large scale IT infrastructure projects. Joseph enjoys to get his hands dirty with any project, and especially enjoys troubleshooting problems and learning when things are broken. He strives to identify the root cause and finds satisfaction in developing innovative solutions. He is responsible for all the land maintenance at Two Crow and is instrumental in the building and restoring of the existing structures. Whether it’s fixing the frozen water pipe, upgrading the solar system or renovating the house, Joseph is up for any challenge.

Thanks to his Eagle Scout award, Joseph has an uncanny ability to find a solution under the most extreme of circumstances. Of his many feats, he has both scaled Linda’s apartment because she was at the base of a mountain and realized she left her stove burning and carried her off a 13,000 ft peak after a solo summit ended with a broken foot. Two Crow Healing would not be possible without Joseph’s love and dedication.

The Future

We purchased Two Crow with an intention of helping heal this planet so that children, seven generations from now, are able to live in relationship and reciprocity with the land. It is the future generations that will bear the burden of destruction that capitalism and greed have wrought across the globe. We hope to offer them a different path, one of healing and reconciliation. We are grateful for their love and support.
