Courtni Hale, Executive Director, CNTK 

Northeast Coordinator, INTK 


Ms. Hale's position with INTK led her to develop the timely concept for the Center for Natural and Traditional Knowledge as a permanent solution to the various crises which we face as a species.

She is the Central point person for connecting partners, staff and supporters.  Ms. Hale is the liaison for the gathering and assimilating of knowledge around sustainable coexistence.  Her position also deals with education on natural and traditional knowledge, such as sustainability, healing through nature, and community farming.  

As a bridge between cultures, Ms. Hale's travels and living experience abroad have led her to believe that we are able to change and adapt our culture for the better.  Half Native American and half European, her studies of different economic systems and world traditions give her a unique connective perspective which is applied directly to the Center for Natural and Traditional Knowledge.

Spanish Interpreter, teacher and practitioner of traditional arts, with many years experience in government, legal systems, international studies, yoga, freelance writing and fine art.
