They have now re-designed using student volunteers.

  Living Co-creatively

  Jun 2014 - now

  I am an advocate for well-being using primarily transformative education to inform and inspire health using epigenetics, a field that is growing fast and can be used in many ways. I have waited for this for a long while. How many loved ones have tried medication after medication without success? With DNA testing we can easily match medicine to your genome. Or as I prefer, epigenetics can be used to develop a balanced lifestyle lowing stress, anxiety, and much more. One of the best "medicines" in personal health is meditation and mindfulness and the reason I became a non-denominational doctor of divinity. I also counsel regarding trauma including PTSD with excellent results. I provide hospice support. We can also work on simply and profoundly reaching your dreams. I am very familiar with the quantum field and the impact of learning to introspect and engage with empathy. I work for the greater good and joy even in life's darkest times and I am honored.NOTE: Few understand the damage that was done to science, research, publishing, and health during the last administration when everything became corporate as we struggled with a pandemic. NOW things are getting a bit more ETHICAL. I am seeking a collaborator to apply for a large NIH grant involving community health learning. Show less

  Author and Transformative Educator

  I use extensive study/experience, including doctoral work in Transformative Learning and Change, in somatics (yoga, TRE), natural medicine, quantum, and participatory methods to create well-being in all areas of life. I am now focusing on epigenetics, the "step beyond" genetics. I have published a program in social learning for youth and elders to learn together, that we are made of stardust and that by "becoming" together, playing, and learning, we co-create a livable world. Volume 2 will enlarge teaching on the brain to MIND and how we take care of our bodies (seeking investors). Who's in Charge of My Life? (https://amzn.to/2MFqjsS) concludes with a Living Treasures program that can become a long-term community event. This edition was originally begun at the College of Santa Fe, then used by peers in another At-Risk Youth Master's class where a long-term study rubric was added. I believe this program has enormous potential for communities in many areas and envision it being customized easily to any community as well as raising funds. Wellness programs are now being used in communities like Berkeley CA in their fire department and have the potential to detox serious toxins that are especially damaging to brain health in children.I am also currently working with a world leader in genetics on a book concerning natural health based on the experience of 800 clients, many very ill, including facilitators, and professionals, over a two-month period. We generated 1k pages of data and for me, as an educator/coach, I am ecstatic to see how healing happens together in respectful community. I still coach many of these folks and they appreciate that I "teach difficult things well."I have over 30k reads on Quora, about 200 per week, mostly from depressed youth. The worldwide despair astonishes.I now often call myself an "esoteric epigeneticist" as I teach non-invasive body-centered practices as well as nutrition, all now firmly validated. Show less

  Health and Well Being

  Dec 2017 - Feb 2019

  Senior Administrative Assistant

  I am working to help collate a natural health project that should be revolutionary based on a two-month experience of an online learning community of 700 dedicated participants, many very ill, lead by a brilliant leader in ways that I believe highly validate the methods found especially in co-operative inquiry. I am four others co administrated and I believe we will demonstrate not only new health information but also that f2f and online are highly viable for creating well-being.

  This is a great academic research site (part of the esteemed PLOS ONE) for many fields especially the social sciences. I am currently focusing on community learning Co-operative Inquiry, a non-authoritarian method of problem-solving and more proposed by John Heron. This is essential science based on mutual respect by the people for the people although the method is very useful for professionals.Several friends involved in community politics and service are fining the work useful.
