Jessica Plancich, another co-Founder of TCN, is a spiritual social worker and connector of people. As a reformed mainstreamist turned integrative psychotherapist, she brings over 10 years of individual, family and group facilitation, nonprofit management, leadership and program development, and integrative systems experience to the TCN family. Deeply passionate about creating practical pathways to returning to all things wholesome and real, she practiced these tenets as a founding member of the Emerald Village, an Eco-Village and intentional community in Southern California (the location of the 2nd official Tribal Convergence gathering). There, she assisted members in fostering all things co-creative, co-llaborative and co-nnective. She sits in the seat of Outreach and Engagement in this council and her efforts focus on relationship building, inclusivity and outreaching to a wide array of community sectors at grass roots levels to foster the kind of intimacy and truth that creates safe places for visionary ideas to land and have lasting power.
