Resources (last updated December 2023)
So many are having a profound impact on my evolutionary thinking, as I respond to the work of climate and social justice. While there are many not on this list, including my inner tribe of soul mate friends (Anam Cara as John O'Donohue writes) I am beyond grateful for my full community of teachers and guides.
For additional materials, connections, and thinkers, check out my work in the classroom at Middlebury College.

Systems Thinkers and Teachers
Along my pattern-seeking, system thinking journey I've come across many valuable teachers and resources. I've begun collecting sources specific to Systems for you to access. I'll start with some Donella Meadows and go from there. She can do NO wrong IMHO, as I've shared in my first Climate Matters Column.
Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion
I've been gathering guides and advice on how to be an accomplice as we attune and correct the systemic racism and structural oppression that has defined our entire human-imagined civilization for more than four centuries. It is up to each and everyone of us to show up with a strong back and open heart to lift up and amplify the voices of those who have been silenced. Here are just a few of the brilliant minds I lean in with to de-school and un-school myself and my students:
