Envision
Imagine a world where education is a given, healthcare is a right, transportation is available, and poverty is seen as a fault in our society. This is a world we can create together.
What do you envision?
New story
The United States of America is built on a fractured narrative. The thinking that we are greedy, individualists who are only looking to pull ourselves up by the bootstraps is unrealistic and untrue.
Rather, we live in a system that does not support human flourishing. Our current system exploits nature, was founded on white-supremacist ideologies and prioritizes the growth of corporations and the pursuit of monetary wealth above all else.
We need a new economic story; one that prioritizes human and ecological wellbeing.
Healing and care
All life is served in this narrative. A Wellbeing Economy values human connection and interdependence alongside competition and individuality. It prioritizes people and the planet.
It is based on abundance: we are more successful when everyone is provided for and able to live up to their potential. It is a system that decolonizes our minds, acknowledges past failures, and heals us as a nation.
We can transcend the past system and shift toward a society in which compassion and care are at the root.

Easter unfolding
I am absorbed as I step into the galleries exploring a timeling of growth—our society changing for collecitve care.
It has been done in art. Done in enduring collective structures. And I feel deeply connected to the inner shifts that are developed and illustrated in these Florence galleries.
Unfolding realities
One in fifty billion: At these odds I’m looking for what else is real and, while it does not serve me to hold onto conventional worldviews, unfolding into bigger realities is challenging.
Love Life Aliveness
We know transformation emerges from new ways of thinking and being. However, the how is less clear. Three calls for this: to love, to aliveness, to life. Two practices. One love!
