Patti Rokus

Patti Rokus spent her childhood in rural Oregon wading through streams, building forts and looking under rocks.  A sensitive soul, she felt the joy and pain of others as if her own, and yearned to create beauty, connection and peace.  Years later, taking a break from a career in technology with Microsoft, British Petroleum, Nike and others, she found her way back to her true loves - nature and God.  Patti is still a wanderer, not yet rooted in one place, but can be found pocketing a few rocks on every hike throughout the Pacific Northwest, smiling at the attention from God.  She believes that anyone can return to their true nature of connection, innocence and joy; but sometimes we just need someone to hold our hand and together find the answers to who we really are, and why we're here.
