Projects

Global Village School - I am the founding director of Global Village School, an international K-12 homeschool diploma program focused on peace, justice, diversity, and sustainability. Global Village is working to effect change on the personal and global levels by providing a transformative education that empowers students to cultivate their gifts and passions while becoming wise and capable stewards of the planet. The distance learning model makes this type of education available to youth and adults around the globe.
I believe that education is a key component of progressive social change, and Global Village is a natural extension of my passionate commitment to creating a more just and peaceful world.

Power of the Heart is an international online community focused on the ideas of “grassroots philanthropy” and activism. It’s about compassion, action, and change, and the power of an open heart. The basic idea is that you don't have to be rich to be a philanthropist, and that when your heart is touched by something in the world, you can do something that will make a difference.

Global Village Resources for a Peaceful Healthy Planet - as we create new curriclum for Global Village School we run across many wonderful resources and organizations. We created the resource site so that we can share them with the thousands of visitors to our site who share our vision for creating a better world. Topics include Resources for Educators, Organizations that are making a difference, Online Activism, Alternative Media, Books, Quotes, Voices of Peace, and War's Impact on the Troops and Their Families (Important articles and resources for currently enlisted soldiers, veterans, their families, young people who are of draft age or are considering enlisting, and all those who care about them.)

Whispering Seed - I recently joined the board of Whispering Seed, a village-based sustainable living and learning center and home for children who have been orphaned, abused and neglected along the Thai-Burmese border. Whispering Seed provides support, care and learning opportunities for refugee children, displaced people and other ethnic minorities groups living in the border region, including those who have been affected by HIV/AIDS. Whispering Seed's aim is share new models for sustainable living and learning while also supporting traditional wisdom and local knowledge systems.

Dream Voices - I do dream tending sessions, helping people to understand the messages in their dreams.

Revisioning Education - this project is still in the idea stage. Stay tuned!
