In somatics practice, commitment statements are declarations of a preferred way of being. Rather than a state we can easily and repeatedly achieve, they are a practice we commit to over and over, inspired by the wisdom we are what we practice. The commitment statement I’ve been practicing for a number of years is: I am a commitment to shaping and flowing with the tides like kelp beneath the ocean. Because I delight in toggling between the abstract and the applied, theory and practice, consciousness and action, I’ve chosen to share my interest in the VP of Programmatic Offerings role in a format that does both. Navigate through the interactive points on the image to learn more about my professional philosophy and interest in working for the LightEn Centre for Consciousness and Action in North Carolina.

The blades of the kelp tilt toward the light, enabling the plant to grow rapidly (in some places, up to 1.6 feet per day!) and supporting the wider ecosystem around it to grow and transform. As it grows, so too does its capacity to absorb carbon and contribute to oxygen levels in the surrounding water.

I also stewarded the growth of the counselling team from 9 to 30 practitioners over 3 years. I’m primarily interested in supporting programs to scale deep which means prioritizing inner work and healing as a part of the scaling process, rather than just getting bigger (scaling up) or doing more (scaling out). It would bring me great joy to contribute to the relational, programmatic, growth and experience-driven components of the VP role.

Under the water, kelp moves fluidly with the tides, and as it does, it shapes and creates the undercurrents around it. Its interconnectedness is inseparable from the subtleties of the moon, the direction of the wind, and the shape of the coastal landscape.
At the University of North Carolina I have designed and taught original curriculum that instills this way of approaching social problems: from the inside-out rather than the outside-first. I’ve mentored Peace Fellows in this approach, including movement leaders, artists, activists, faith leaders, dignitaries, and government officials. My work is relational, and grounded in the knowledge that neither the wisdom, nor the task is mine alone. This orientation connects me to LightEn and the committment it articulates. I want to serve a vision that stewards, steadies, and strengthens the inner and outer conditions for change, because it’s what I naturally do best.
Aligning my contributions with my natural talents gives me clarity on what is mine to do: strengthen the capacity of practitioners, leaders and changemakers weaving together inner development and applied practice. It’s a co-occuring process of transforming myself to transform the world while providing the guidance, nuturing and conditions for others to do the same.
