Faith
Chinnock is a mom and a musician who has lived on both sides of the
Morongo Basin. In this
episode, Faith tells the story of her and, then
boyfriend, Tim, making a road trip to the desert with Faith's Dad -
who made a statement to them about finding 'liberation in the
flatness'. It wasn't until years later, living in the flatness
themselves, that Faith and Tim began to understand what her Dad
meant by those words.
Landing in 29Palms as the result of her husbands
Navy assignment, Faith took to the place much more quickly than she
expected. It helped that they'd found an old, original adobe house
to rent that they'd both fallen in love with and the desert seemed
to wrap Faith up, allowing her to heal some wounds from her past.
Tim then began to immerse himself in the hi-desert music scene and
before she knew it, Faith was right there with him and they
birthed, The Adobe
Collective.
Even
as a busy mom of two young children, Faith finds time to be
involved in the community, whether helping other moms with their
children or coordinating a postcard writing campaign for a local
woman running for Congress. Faith talks a bit about home-schooling
and provides a few local resources for parents who are finding
themselves stressed and overwhelmed.
