"I think about that wonderful Adrienne Rich quote that the genius of a spider is that she weaves and spins at the same time.\\xa0That for me is the guiding principle in writing: to weave and spin at the same time."

Jaune Evans is a modern day Renaissance woman! At 66, she\\u2019s a writer, visual artist, activist and Zen priest. Through a life she describes as a "crazy quilt,\\u201d she worked her way through college as a cocktail waitress, was the first camerawoman at NBC, a baker and a foundation executive. (That\\u2019s just a partial list.) Today, she runs the Tamalpais Trust, a foundation supporting indigenous communities, while serving as a priest at Everyday Zen in the Bay Area and offering arresting dharma talks that exude wisdom, warmth and wit. (There\\u2019s a link below to listen to those talks.) She has --and is-- writing her own story with gratitude to the "women helpers," from therapists to a host of women creative heroes, that she\\u2019s turned to along the way. Jaune is also a member in good standing of the "Better, Deeper, More Club" (so are we!). When you listen to our conversation with her, you\'ll learn more about the Club and surely want to join!
