After raising four children, getting a PhD in Nursing from the University of Michigan and teaching for five years at the University of Washington in Seattle, Dorothy left the University and traveled for a year with her husband Doug in their Volkswagon van. She arrived at Woolman in the year 2000, seeking a life more in harmony with her commitment to mindfulness, nonviolence and simplicity. Here at Woolman she has found that life. She enjoys walking, swimming in the Yuba, making her own clothes, being a part of the lives of her children and grandchildren, sharing Nonviolent Communication with anyone, and riding the train.
