TEDxSpokane

The Speakers are here!
There is still time to grab tickets and join us this Saturday to hear these awesome people in action.

Meet Sheila , 2026 TEDx Speaker! Sheila is a community-builder at heart and a lifelong advocate for personal growth through intentional connection. Her career spans decades in youth development and the summer camp world, with leadership roles at Cheley CO Camps and Camp Nor’wester in the San Juan Islands. Today, her work has taken a meaningful new turn as she serves aging adults at the Lake Ballinger Center, continuing her lifelong commitment to care, belonging, and human connection. A writer and spoken-word poet, Sheila shares reflections rooted in reinvention, shared humanity, and the threads that bind us together. Her words invite us to pause, to wonder, and to reconnect—with ourselves and with one another. Originally from Nebraska and now living in Lynnwood, WA with her partner Janie and their sweet cat Murphy, Sheila describes herself best this way:
Her spirit is rooted in the outdoors.
Her mind is open to the mystical.
And as a seeker, her heart is defined by boundless curiosity—and the pursuit of wonder, love, and connection.
We’re honored to welcome Sheila to the TEDx stage in 2026.
