Carol Holmes Doudna has shared a lifelong bond with Yosemite, a place that shaped her understanding of energy, awareness, and the natural intelligence of the Earth. From childhood visits to later settling in Coarsegold, California, just south of the park, Yosemite has been a constant presence – both a sanctuary and a teacher. Her deep connection to the land allows her to experience Yosemite not merely as scenery, but as a living field of influence that continually inspires insight and reflection.
