Santa Fe, New Mexico

I've been interested in regenerative practices for many years.  Much of my career has been focused on regenerative local practices and food systems as well as indigenous ways of being, knowing and doing.  I recently returned to school to get my masters in regenerative practices and economics and am interested in connecting with others in this group to learn a lot more about other events and practices in other communities and what they are doing to reframe their economics.   

I am currently a junior at Carthage College studying International Politics and Sustainability.  After graduation, I hope to work in Global Sustainability and Development.  I grew up on a farm with horses and chickens, and love to be outdoors, travel, read, and paint (among other things).  About two years ago I first read Doughnut Economics and fell in love with Raworth's ideas.  Since then I have committed myself to the study of similar theories and discourses to leverage my skills throughout my future career.  I discovered this program a few months ago and am so excited to be a part of a community with so many like-minded individuals!

Future (hopefully) economics student. Wanting to find out what is happening to usher the movement into a regenerative, distributive, growth agnostic etc. future. Seeing if there's anything I could do on a personal level and maybe to meet others in a similar situation.

Salem, Oregon

I'm a retired Unitarian Universalist minister and longtime activist for economic justice, care for the environment, universal healthcare and currently focused on mitigation of climate change.  I'm active in several group efforts to that end.  I am currently on the board of UUs for a Just Economic Community, and chair its task force for a Green New Deal. I have two sons and two grandchildren also living in the Pacific Northwest.  I live in the Pringle Creek Commuity in Salem which focuses on sustainability for its 30 acre campus.  I currently chair its Landscape Committee. I am very interested in Doughnut Economics because if our economic structures and popular persuasion, nationally and globally, do not change, we will not save life on our planet.  The "Doughnut" makes easily grasped sense of the dilemma and the solutions.
