What was your role and involvement with Pioneers of Change?
I was some of the initial gatherings in its early beginnings.
What has your journey been since your time with Pioneers of Change?
After the retreat in Santa Cruz in the year 2001 (I believe) I was planning to return to Mexico and open an spiritual center in Tepoztlan, instead, I met some people there and ended up opening a coffee house in Boston, not the way I expecting to contribute for a Planetary awakening with mochas and expressos... Jeff Barnum was my partner. 4 years after returned to Mexico and opened a consulting firm on Collective Intelligence and then started working with Paul Hawken on Wiser Earth, attempting to build a network of networks. Life took to do a masters in Karlskrona Sweden on Strategic Leadership and Sustainability and created the School of Social Alchemy (www.socialalchemy.life)as a path to combine social and spiritual science. Started applying those principles with Barbara Marx Hubbard and presented The Office of the Future at the UN as a model for Global Collective Intelligence. We worked out prototypes of that process in Egypt, Europe, Mexico and Colombia. I've been working with elders from across the world to protect sacred sites, foster enviromental regeneration and societal evolution. www.pai.earth, I call this process, The Planetary Party. A party that shall bring humanity together to celebrate co-creation at a global scale and build the world we all dream to live in.
What values, lessons, or experiences from Pioneers of Change have stayed with you?
If you can dream it, you can make it real and live the dream.
What advice would you give to today’s young changemakers as they navigate their own paths?
Connect to your Deepest Heart Desire, that is the key to unlock all the magic and abundance in the Universe. First you will find your Resonant Others then, you will reach higher and higher levels of Coherence, becoming a pocket of coherence, atracting all the projects, people and impact you have always desired to bring to the world.
