He and Allison also co-founded The EcoIntegrity Center of Bellingham, WA (EcoBell), a branch of Attraction Retreat that served as a community hub for kindred spirits and a sustainable urban intentional community.<\/p>\n<p>He was a practitioner and researcher in the field of <a href=\"http:\/\/attractionretreat.org\/Synopsis\/glossary#Ecopsychology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ecopsychology<\/a>, helping people remember how to think and act the way nature works. He often referred to himself as a paradigm shift coach.<\/p>\n<p>Dave passed away before <em>Connecting the Dots<\/em> could be published so his wife Allison, co-founder of their <a href=\"http:\/\/attractionretreat.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">non-profits<\/a>, and their dear friend <a href=\"http:\/\/chetgardiner.com\/wp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Chet Gardiner<\/a> (computer maven, community activist and professional musician) picked up where he left off.\u00a0 This synopsis and the forthcoming download and print on demand editions of his book are the result of their joint effort.<\/p>\n<p>We have chosen to present his text in a WordPress theme (ironically titled <em>Chosen<\/em>) that is simple, clean and easy to read.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike most internet web pages, active links to other pages and resources in <em>Chosen<\/em> are underlined but do NOT appear in blue type.<\/p>\n<p>There is a link provided at the end of each page that will replace the current page with the next page of the synopsis.<\/p>\n<p>Clicking on most of the active keyword links within the text will open up a new tab in your browser showing the <a href=\"http:\/\/attractionretreat.org\/Synopsis\/glossary\/\">Glossary page<\/a> located at the entry for that keyword.\u00a0 Some of the entries are active links to Dave Ewoldt articles and on occasion, external resources instead.<\/p>\n<p>In most browsers you can preview the website\/webpage URL where you'll be sent if you click.\u00a0 Try it!\u00a0 Hover your cursor over \"Glossary\" link above and you should see \"attractionretreat.org\/Synopsis\/glossary\" appear at the bottom of your screen.<\/p>\n<p>Note: After a link creates a new tab and displays another webpage you can return to the calling page by just closing the tab (usually clicking an \"x\" in the tab title).<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a id=\"Contact-Us\"><\/a>Contact
