Join us for a two-part conversation: March 12 and April 9.
In these Essential Conversations sessions we will explore:
Addressing Challenges and Finding Identity
Developing the Courage (even when I don’t “know”):
to embody… who I am, the right of Being
to discover… what is mine to do, the right of Becoming
to live into…who are My People, the right of Belonging
and from these Three Human Rightsto choose in each moment To Be Free
This is an ongoing Journey of Self-Discovery, Practice, Grounding, Self-Authority, and Collective Power.
Leadership in These Times: In these challenging times, the importance of self-reflection and authenticity, and the need for collective embodiment and experience, is crucial to include as a leadership imperative.
What is a map to follow in this journey of self-discovery? A focus on the need for a deeper transformation in society, the importance of learning and growing together, and the need to face and overcome fear. Community support is crucial: how to help each other and move together, rather than feeling alone.
The importance of learning and growing together, and how this process can lead to increased safety and understanding, is a way to face and overcome fear, and how this can lead to personal growth and strength.

Life has always had three themes: education/learning; the arts/theater; and community, especially those on the margins, the edge. My titles and jobs and roles have changed many times. The three themes never. They are the themes in every life improvisation, from major federal programs, universities, to smallest NPO.
At this time I think we are in the second Axial Age; the depth and complexity of the changes in every system, and the cascade and convergence of crises, challenge us—me—in ways I struggle to admit and understand. It’s a compelling reason that I am part of CPL.
I have three adult kids, in Boston, Salt Lake City, and Minneapolis, and five grands! I live in Minneapolis just a mile or so from George Floyd Square. His murder ignited fires of change that are still burning, and that provoked a great destructive reaction.
We see the rise now in the USA of a racist, nationalist, party that desires control and flaunts law and civic norms. Our democracy is threatened.
I’m committed to do whatever I can, where I am, the best I can, to turn this time, turn the wheel around the axle, towards a creative, cooperative, sustainable culture.
