Why I am called to facilitate the Work

Mother Earth - our true ecological self - called me to serve all life-forms on our beautiful planet and in the universe. That was in 1983.

How I see the Work serving the Great Turning

To withstand the mess we're in without going crazy. Not to be afraid about the catastrophic szenarios in which we live. Always remembering my intention as a Bodhisattva.
