Michelle Dicks
Hello members of the land in Great village NS. My name is Michelle Dicks. I put my name forward because I believe I could be an asset as a chair member. I been the business's owner of the Earth body elements holistic clinic for 12 years and growing. In my current role there I offer multiple health services. With this experience I could help come up with ideas for this land to be successful in its early and long term development stages. I can also keep a professional mindset when listening to all your questions, inputs etc and being the voice that each of you deserve.
Ty for the consideration
Gabrielle Pearce
Hello all,
My name is Gabrielle Pearce, but friends call me Gabby. Is it appropriate to start this by saying “writing a bio about myself makes me uncomfortable?” Probably not, so I’ll get right into it. I’m an entrepreneur, esthetician, and astrologer. I’m known for my ability to unite people and build community through empathy and effective communication. I have a fascination with the stars and a love for cats. When I’m not immersed in my work, I enjoy attending local music performances, exploring nature, and working on personal growth. Sharing love and kindness in every aspect of my life is something that is important to me. In my spiritual practices I have taken a more solitary approach, but in recent years, have been opening up more and finding my community. I am so excited to be a part of the Pagan Assembly of Nova Scotia and am grateful to have the opportunity to run for the Chair of the Land Committee. Listening to people and finding the collective consensus through open discussion has been something that I have always enjoyed. Ensuring that everyone who wishes to be heard has the opportunity to do so is my highest priority. I am also proficient in conflict resolution, not that we hope for that to arise, but if it does, I am equipped to handle it. As I continue to grow and connect with others, I look forward to making a positive impact on our shared journey.
Blessed be,
