Everlutionary: Healing and Transforming the World
Through my 20 years of work as an educator, non-profit leader, poet, entrepreneur, documentary filmmaker, author, and yogi, I have been obsessed with how we can create a world free of hatred, violence, and war. With this podcast, I continue that journey as I sit with some of the most inspiring change makers in the world and learn how they are alleviating human suffering and healing the planet. We’ll come to know that another world is not only possible, but that it is already here. Together we’ll dance between the nuances of mysticism, science, spirituality, social justice, healing, arts, philosophy, ancient wisdom, and futurism. We’ll laugh. We’ll cry. We'll learn. We’ll bravely explore how to create a more just, peaceful, and joyful world... together.

Everlutionary: Healing and Transforming the World Trailer
May 24, 2024 • 2 MIN
Through my years of work in the nonprofit and education sectors I’ve learned that global peace building is hard work and requires deep listening. For over 20 years I have been obsessed with how we can create a world free of hatred, violence, and war. I’ve been fascinated by how to crack the code of our survival and return to balance with the natural world. In order to do this, I believe we need to become other-centered instead of self-centered. We need to become citizens of the world. Every episode of this podcast is another opportunity to explore the delicate nuances of mysticism, science, spirituality, social justice, healing, arts, and futurism. We’ll laugh. We’ll cry. We’ll be brave. And, we’ll remind each other that we’re not alone. In every episode, we’ll explore what it means to become Everlutionary.
