I have been so busy trying to make positive change in this crazy world that I forgot to mention I was promoted to full professor.

This Climate Psychology Alliance facilitator training program was life-changing. I have earned a lot of certificates over the years, but this one I am truly proud of...

Just the vibe to dance in the new year, come what may...

Thanks for the recommendation! I'll look for it. I am in the middle of these two. I especially love the material from the Good Grief Network (the Schmidt book).

I'm really appreciating this book! Brendan Kelly has helped my elderly Dad move beyond a very debilitating case of Lymes disease. He is working with patients with long COVID to manage symptoms. The connections he draws between feeding our bodies well & protecting the health of the planet make sense.

I'll be back to climate and energy shit posting in the new year, I promise.

Vermont has a way of soothing the soul, even Festus feels it.

It's so nice to be home and met by fresh snow!

I'm very excited for this session w Rae Johnson. I highly recommend her book on embodied activism. ❤

I love these assignments. For example, ask students to write an Emotional Impact Statement, or write a proposal for unfucking the world. Imagine that!
November 24, 2024 at 8:00 PM
I highly recommend this book for educators! 🔥
