It is my absolute delight to welcome Jonathan Dawson to the Sense-Making in a Changing World show. Jonathan is Program Lead of the Masters of Regenerative Economics at Schumacher College in England.

Jonathan & I met many years ago here at Crystal Waters Ecovillage visiting with my friend, Amanda Cahill CEO, The Next Economy. Jonathon was for many years the president of the Global Ecovillage Network & a long time resident of Findhorn.  Jonathan kindly hosted my family at his community in Totnes, UK. 

He is author of Gaia Education's UNITAR endorsed Sustainable Economics Curriculum drawn from best practice with ecovillages globally - a curriculum adopted by UNESCO. He is also author of Schumacher Briefing 12  Ecovillages: New Frontiers for Sustainability, Green Books, 2015, & has worked in small enterprise development in Africa & South Asia.
