“

We have to be living demonstrations of that just, life-sustaining, life-affirming way with every interaction that we have. With the way that we live our lives.

As a gardener, you're always looking at, "what can I do to help this garden flourish?" You don't wait until the plant is dying to water it. You're just caring for it on a regular basis and you're always supporting it to be more resilient.

I think people don’t change by shame or blame or forcing them into things. I think they change because they have a vision of the world they want. And that being a coach is like being some of the guardrails and helping them really rehone towards what is that vision?

Hopefully, this is changing, but like when I was a young organizer, we didn’t do a lot of collective dreaming, You know, it was just like, we need to change this policy right now, or like, we need to stop climate crisis right now. And it’s like, okay, great, but what are we moving towards? So how do we personally and collectively dream outside of that is an important thing to be looking at.

I think one of the biggest contributions we can do is to create movement spaces where people would never even question their sense of belonging.

How do we create that culture where even if I do or say the worst possible thing, I know that I still belong because there's, it's the way that the universe is structured, right? There's nothing outside of belonging. And so how do we give people that felt sense?

We fundamentally believe that everyone has a stake in climate change. That everyone can affect change around it.

I really get upset when I see people making decisions from a place of fear. I want people to make decisions from a place of values, groundedness, logic, whatever you want to call it, but not these threatened, frightened, disempowered places where we don't make good decisions.
