Marcella has long believed that personal wellness, planetary wellness and societal wellness are all interconnected.

Marcella has taken vows in The Order of Interbeing (in the tradition of Vietnamese Buddhist Monk, Thich Naht Hanh.)

She practices meditation, teaches mindfulness and has held an annual inter-faith, World Peace Meditation over the last few years.

Marcella is a long time Yoga practitioner.

She believes that the gift of a human re-birth is to be treasured, by staying connected, taking care of ourselves, each other and the planet, and to use our talents and privileges for ‘right livelihood’ not only for Self- Realization, but in the service of humanity.

As Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said; (and as in Mahayana Buddhism) “No one is free until we are all free.”
