From the Archive: Illene Pevec, PhD created award winning school garden projects to bring the wisdom and healing of the Earth to children. She is the author of Growing a Life and is a specialist in educational reform centered on experiential garden-based learning. This is part 2 of her conversation with Gwen.
My life’s commitment is to nurture and expand the innate capacity in myself and others to embody a world of beauty, unity, health and justice. As a staff member of the international citizen action group RESULTS, I coached and trained volunteer political advocates worldwide for more than a decade in the movement to end poverty. I learned about being a game-changer by working alongside visionary leaders like Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Muhammad Yunus; Lynne Twist of The Hunger Project and founder of The Pachamama Alliance; and Marshall Saunders, founder of Citizens' Climate Lobby.
