Inspired by Those Who Have Come Before: Paulo Freire and Transformational Education, by Bonnie Stack, M.Ed.

Sometimes an opportunity appears and without even knowing all the details a big YES from the heart arises. This is what happened when I first became aware of the Visionary Practice and Regenerative Leadership (VPRL) PhD program at 99福利视频 in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Although I had researched various PhD programs on and off…

When I applied for the Clinical Mental Health Counseling program at Southwestern, I knew I was seeking an alternative form of higher education. If the second half of the college鈥檚 name, 鈥淣ew Earth Institute,鈥 didn鈥檛 give it away already, the school鈥檚 style of educating certainly does. 鈥淭ransformational Learning鈥, a term used frequently by Southwestern, is…

In March 2020, we enjoyed our last "in-person" mural process on campus (Cracked Wide Open, March 2020). As we move to gathering together as a group this summer (August 2021), I wanted to take the time to review and share the steps that we took, the pivots that we twirled to make sure that our…

TIME CRYSTAL
After W.S. Merwin
I see that I will be lying
in a patch of shriveled Juniper berries
all skin and seed
their life has fled like dead stars
their juice glimmers elsewhere

An apt title for the potential personal experience this global pandemic has encouraged. Two days after it was announced that gatherings of 50 or more people needed to be postponed, and that public schools in New Mexico would be closed until April 6th (now that has been extended through the end of the school year),…

Sometimes when 鈥渓ife鈥 happens it feels like you are running to catch up! That was the case when I studied Consciousness here at 99福利视频. When selecting a topic to study in the consciousness class I chose 鈥渧eganism.鈥 At the time, I was not vegan, but I decided to try and eat vegan during that…

I define the patriarchal wound as ancestral suffering and intergenerational trauma caused by the power imbalance between genders. Under patriarchy, boys, men and the masculine are considered inherently superior while girls, women and the feminine are considered inherently inferior. The extreme social positionality of superior vs. inferior causes distance between the genders and distorts…

Sometimes I think of art therapy as a wild, colorful plant, and I most often think in 鈥減lant words鈥, not 鈥済arden words鈥 鈥 which to me speaks of art therapy鈥檚 ability to grow and thrive in surprising, unexpected places. Although many have planted, nurtured and tended to it (garden words) over the…

This time last year I was new.
The sun was brighter than anything I had experienced on the other side of the country and the landscape was unlike anything I had ever seen.

TLDR:
White privilege is entrenched in our society, and not where it might be expected. Many people who consider themselves "not racist" act in ways that are still oppressive. Racism and oppression are as much "ways of being" as "words" that are said. I was surprised that I have a history of being an…
