Dr. Clint Rogers will be one of the presenters at Odyssey Maui 2020 in April. That's how we became introduced. Clint has a TEDx talk and has authored the book: Ancient Secrets of a Master Healer: a Western Skeptic, an Eastern Master, and Life's Greatest Lessons. This very intimate conversation reveals some of the ways the Universe brings about what is needed at the right time. Clint was talking to us from India. That, in itself, tells you something about right timing.

The Rooted Method has its roots in Christina's upbringing in Texas which was filled with the outdoors. As happens to many, she lost her grounding in college and then spent years of travel, training, and introspection to find her way back to her roots and her life's work. She'll be one of the presenters at Odyssey 2020 in Maui in April. Her home base is Austin, TX. Look for her Rewilding events.

Before earning a Bachelors Degree in International Relations at UC-Berkeley, Yael had already become passionately involved the struggle for civil rights during the 1968 Poor People’s March on Washington, helping build Resurrection City and tutoring children of color whose schools were just being desegregated in southern Virginia. Certified as a
Compassionate Listening (CL) facilitator in 2004, she led and co-led a number of CL delegations to Israel-Palestine where she lived for 29 years. She co-authored “Making Peace with Faith: The Challenges of Religion and Peacebuilding" (see Chapter 4). She currently lives in New England where she facilitates CL trainings and volunteers as an Alternatives to Violence facilitator in a men's high security prison. Witnessing the “new Jim Crow” there has brought her around full-circle to rejoin the struggle for racial/social justice here in the U.S. In January 2020, she initiated and co-led the first domestic CL delegation, “Listening in the Heart of Alabama.” She looks forward to many more such trips to explore the perfect “marriage” of Compassionate Listening and anti-racism (and all other “isms”). 

Darius is a lover of knowledge from astro-physics to international relations. "Half-white and half-black" has been one factor in his unfolding "Who am I?" search. Finding Lorenzo Greene's book, Missouri's Black Heritage, has inspired him to take the baton to learn as much as he can. This is a fascinating conversation about "the Black Experience", concerns in the age of Trump, and a call to stop blaming government, learn all you can, and be sure and vote! His prolific political essays can be found by signing into medium.com and searching for "drillbitnews.com."
