Their life together

Rooted in Fairfield. Beginning anew in Ecuador.

For many years, Kurt and Kaeli were part of the Fairfield community. Kurt was an engineer and a devoted spiritual practitioner—a man whose life brought practical intelligence and inner devotion together.

Kurt and Kaeli recently moved to Ecuador to begin a new chapter. Now, following Kurt's passing, Kaeli is navigating profound grief along with the immediate realities of creating stability far from the community that has known them for so long.

This page is a gathering place for friends, colleagues, neighbors and fellow practitioners who would like to surround Kaeli with compassion and practical care.
