Soma Miller
Gardening Teacher
Ms. Miller has always been drawn to nature. Childhood soccer games found her eyes on the clover flowers and dandelions at her feet, rather than ‘on the ball’. Her creative expression led her to graduate from FIDM in L.A. with a degree in fashion design. While she greatly enjoyed aspects of working in the garment industry, the pace of city life was not for her. In 2004 she returned to Reno to walk the sacred path of motherhood. The path soon led to Waldorf education and the teachings of Biodynamic Gardening which weave together her passions for plant teachers, ritual, and acknowledging the elemental beings. When she is not tending her home and two children she can be found coaxing color from native plants onto silk, cotton, and wool. She is honored to learn alongside her young students at Nevada Sage Waldorf School as we work to make our plot of land beautiful and abundant.
