“How do we move in our teaching and personal choices from what I am coming to understand is Competitive, Euro-centric, Scarcity driven, Industrial Growth Society to a Global majority, Sustainable, Cooperative Life-Giving Society? How do I shift my ways of seeing, my words, my teaching methods to align with Life-affirming paradigms? My writing, teaching, and video work centers on co-creatively exploring these questions and possibilities. The work is one voice in the global movement to embody Life-Giving paradigms on a personal level for global change.”
