Profile Information

What country do you live in?: USA

Do you have a favorite quote to share?: Why not create Heaven on Earth, just for the hell of it? (Swami Beyondananda)

What is your interest in PeaceWork?: Cultivating peace within through changing my old perception of the world, challenging my concept of 'reality', through meditation, singing, getting other people singing, studying A Course in Miracles, learning to be aware of how I'm communicating with others, and practicing compassionate communication with everyone. I believe this is how I can create peace 'out there'. Also, working to support and strengthen the peace movement and encouraging the creation of a U.S. Cabinet-level Department of Peace.

How long have you been involved in PeaceMaking?: Most of my life.

Are you currently involved in any non-profit or volunteer work?: I'm executive director of Irthlingz Arts-Based Environmental Education, a speaker for the Green House Network, member of the Network of Spiritual Progressives, and I support various peace and environmental nonprofits.

What is your Passion? Your Purpose?: Singing, creating music, cultivating peace and joy within and spreading those 'out there'. Healing my spirit and helping the world to heal.

How do any products or services you offer contribute to making the world more peaceful?: My partner Michael Hurwicz and I create music and musical theater to educate, inspire and empower people to become stewards of the Earth. Our CDs are filled with spicy lyrics, powerful vocals, rich harmonies, environmental passion, and messages of peace. Our PENGUINS ON THIN ICE climate change musical revue is available for any high school, college, community or faith group to produce at a minimal cost. Climate change, lack of access to basic needs like energy, the pursuit of unsustainable forms of energy, and corporate power in the energy sector are preventing peace in the world. Through songs, laughter and learning, PENGUINS ON THIN ICE has the potential to bring peace through cultivating a much deeper understanding of climate change and our energy situation, presenting solutions to this major national and global challenge. It inspires compassion and communicates that we're all one global family and we can and must help each other.

Is there anything else that you'd like us to know about you?: My desire is to build my life on singing, love and laughter. Mike and I love being able to integrate music and theater into environmental educate. It's a FUN way to confront some not-very-fun subjects. We believe that shifting to sustainable renewable energy will preserve our planet and prevent resource wars. We also do live concerts and are producing videos and music videos.
