We are proud to have her on our PRWC board, and to share in the International Peace Poem Walkers activities. Because she started the IPPWA contest, the students of Powell River have written hundreds of peace poems, some of which will be read at the conference opening ceremonies.
Her prize-winning play, Just Shoot Me, a book of poems, generation of thistles, and a novel set in Guatemala, La Chiripa, will also be released this year by Motley Crew House.

Rosalind Thorp is launching her newest book “Invisible Realms: Intelligence and Immortality in a Timeless Energy Continuum.” She is not unknown for her philosopies. Her previous books have conceived and developed ideas that are thought provoking and challenging.

During his diving career he had the opportunity to dive and explore mare than 600 miles of the West Coast and the Islands of Haida Guai .
With more than 3000 hours underwater and 25 years of living and working aboard boats, Dale now expresses his love for the ocean and it’s inhabitants through his paintings and writings.
“I Otter” is the first in a series of soon to be published illustrated stories about the freedom and rewards of the sea lifestyle and Dale’s personal adventures.
He presently resides in Powell River, BC, with his soulmate and life partner, Susan, who has been the enriching encourager of his art and life’s pursuits. Together they now share a land home that is mostly an art studio and workshop space with an available guest suite for travelers.
