I am a peace and justice centered educator, writer, leader and learning designer who cares deeply about helping to evolve our education systems and humanity. I have been connected with the tenants of peace throughout my teaching and life experiences. When I was first introduced to the peace actions, I knew right away that I wanted to dedicate my life and work to peace education and to create, lead and collaborate with others others. Peace education is truly for everyone.
When I reflect on my many stories of self, many connect back to the peace action, 'seek peace within'. I navigate the world with a connective tissue disorder, which has been such a huge part of my journey of seeking peace within. I truly believe that when humans seek peace within themselves (inner peace), it opens up a way of being in the world that honors and facilitates the sustained creation of peace with others and the environment. Inherently part of all human beings, when living in peace, we come to a greater understanding of our creative power and connectedness in the universe.
Much of my weaving for peace + justice occurs virtually. I am leading, collaborating and coordinating to bring together peace and justice centered people and organizations from across the global together, in order to make an even deeper impact. I envision I am one in a flock of geese. As we fly in the 'V' we move in harmony, shifting positions when another tires, covering more ground in community than we could accomplish as individuals.
