LINDY HUGHES PFEIL MSc
Before marriage, motherhood and immigration, I taught English literature in South Africa. I am the editor of The Beacon newspaper, and author of two award-winning books: It Never Stays in Vegas and The Common Wife.
A certified coach and guided autobiography facilitator, I view life squarely through the circular lens of restorative practices. I work with individuals, teams and organisations and my greatest thrill is witnessing people uncover the magic in their stories. I collect rocks, love the moon and walk barefoot whenever I can, even though it embarrasses my family.
I proudly serve on the North Shore Immigrant Advisory Council and the Board of Directors for the North Shore Restorative Justice Society. I am tickled pink to have received the 2018 West Van Citizen of the Year Award.
