Annette Garber

Annette is a lover of stories and poetry, a spiritual companion, and educator.  She lives with her husband, two children, and their furry family member in an 1850’s farmhouse on Lenni Lenape’ land, also known as Berks County, Pennsylvania… in view of a babbling creek, a magical sycamore, and many wild neighbors, like the red fox, the blue heron, and families of deer.

Annette grew up with a love for the earth, a curiosity about other cultures, and a passion for justice and equality in our world.  These themes infuse her writing and give shape to her being and doing in the world.

Annette divides her time between tutoring multilingual college students, writing poetry and children’s books, spending time with her family and friends, and offering spiritual companionship to individuals and groups looking to deepen their experience of the sacred.

Annette envisions a world where every child is loved and has access to all of life’s essentials, a world where slavery is completed eradicated, a world that values each human life as sacred, regardless of color, creed, or credentials, a world that is sustainable for future generations of people, trees, and butterflies.

Annette loves books, labyrinths, coffee shops, hummingbirds, fair-trade gifts, trees, sunlight, laughing, dancing, yoga, and good food.  She’s also a tad bit passionate about taking care of the earth, nutrition, refugee and immigrant rights, peaceful solutions to conflict and making space for quiet (including silencing cell phones).
