    The featured speakers include Andrea Christelle, PhD, philosophy professor at NAU and owner of Sedona Philosophy Experience, and Kaitlin Sopoci-Belknap, National Director of Move to Amend.

This includes comparing strategies of working on elections, lobbying to create or reform laws and regulations, and organizing to amend the US Constitution.

    Andrea Christelle, Ph.D. is cofounder of SPEX: Sedona Philosophy Experience. SPEX creates opportunities for people to do adventure philosophy outdoors, on trails, on rivers, and under the stars. SPEX invites people to explore their inner lives outside. Andrea serves on the boards of the League of Women Voters of the Greater Verde Valley, the Society of Philosophers in America (SOPHIA) and the Verde Valley Forum. She has been locally and nationally recognized for her work in civic engagement and public philosophy.

    What Would I Change?
    By Amaya Gayle Gregory

    What would I change if I could? You and I both know I can’t, but it’s a fun exercise anyway. I would have been less of a know-it-all on my spiritual journey. It seems to be a side-effect of the path. Spiritual folks develop an all-knowing buffer to protect against their inevitable surrender to the unknown, but understanding that now didn’t make it gentler on me or those I loved, let alone those that I deemed not capable of getting it 😉 Yeah … I’d have dropped the spiritual snob act. I’d have recognized that spiritual radicals are only different on the outside from radical right Christians, and that the surface doesn’t really matter as much as I thought. We are all doing our couldn’t be otherwise things, playing our perfect roles. I’d have learned to bow down humbly before my fellow man, regardless of whether I agreed with him or not. We’re all in this together and not one of us will get out alive. Read more→
