“Our personal security is not a private matter. Life on this planet requires us to shift and see that our future is shared and must be cooperatively stewarded. We are being personally and collectively initiated into our capacity to heal the separation from each other and the land. It’s time to live as if we are all in this together.”
Cassandra Ferrera
Speaking to the intersection of community, land stewardship and the human yearning to belong.
I have spent many years helping people land in community and place in meaningful ways that reflect a deep evolution away from how we currently “own” private property. These experiences have given me much insight into the patterns at play as visionaries and activists lead us toward a future that is cooperatively stewarded and heals the human illness of isolation.
KEYNOTES
I bring a highly relatable perspective and inspiring content from the emerging edge of the communities movement. Big questions and compelling stories guide audiences to understand the shift in how we relate to private property and belonging.
