Elizabeth Diane (“Lisa”)  is an entrepreneur and designer, owner of Lucid9Design.com: visionary graphics, websites and sustainable home plans for the past 15 years.

It was through her lifelong passion for piano and architecture/sculpture that she eventually came to gain insight that life IS music in sacred geometric relationships, and that all sound and form is universal language… the basis of all information giving rise to reality.  This led to a greater interest in harmonic patterns for greater well-being and balance to body/mind/spirit and nature.  She began to apply this to her designs.

Her early roots were in the high deserts of Nevada, then living most of her life in the rainforests of the Pacific Northwest where she birthed her son, an event that catalyzed her own rebirth and awakening.  After a series of dreams of Mt Shasta, circumstance and synchronicity opened the door for Lisa to move to Mt Shasta where she lived her off-grid solar powered dream at the base of the mountain on 20 acres and built an earthbag dome.

She enjoys community building of sustainable structures and building community hosting ecstatic dance in Mt Shasta.  She loves bees and cares for hives with the intent of helping them thrive.  She makes Jun from honey to celebrate the bliss of the Apis mellifera bee-ings.
