2025 Public Speaking Theme: Big Ideas for a Small Planet

I have spent my entire life trying to communicate a relational (ecological) way of experiencing, feeling, relating to and being in the world. Mine is a worldview and resulting way of life that is full of intricate beauty, complexity, joy, and above all gratitude for the chance to participate at all. 

To hold and live this worldview requires a basic outline of understanding of the science of cosmic evolution or at least how life has evolved on planet Earth. 

I am simply asking people to live as if what we know scientifically is true spiritually. 

I am a neurodivergent scientist who lives immersed in the ecological dynamics of the cosmos. I believe that nature teaches us how to see the Creative Life-Force that binds and animates the world. My life is devoted to sharing what nature has taught me.

Drawing on the science of cosmic evolution, I have developed Oika as a living philosophy and source of essential cultural wisdom for our time. I help leaders access the relational intelligence of nature in order to transcend limiting identities, narratives, and habitual ways of thinking. 

I teach Oika through a process of cosmic self-discovery, healing, and fun. I show people how to engage personally with the Creative Life-Force as a source of ecological happiness, hope and belonging. I believe knowing and feeling our shared origin and fate, and living them as reality in daily life, will ultimately translate into a better personal and planetary future.

I invite you to explore this work through my social media, films, podcasts, public talks, and collaborative projects.
