Emerald North
Emerald North, visionary, painter, sculptor, gardener and poet, brings years of vital and vibrant experience to the School of Lost Borders. She teaches from the depth of a full and rich life with humor, vision, and love. Emerald values the personal relationships that are forged through ceremony and aspires to create what a recent participant described as “the safest, softest, permeable, and transparent container that could be.” Emerald has been with Lost Borders since 1993 and co-directed the School with Joseph Lazenka from 2001 through 2005.
