PLEASE SEND YOUR PHYSICAL MAILING ADDRESSES SO WE CAN SEND OUT THANK YOU NOTES - A NEW YEARS RESOLUTION OF DAILY GRATITUDE.

The final line of the video below states: "Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage. Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence, something helpless that wants our love."
— Rainer Maria Rilke

You all helped me view those dragons under a different way both through the moral courage of supporting me to speak up about climate change in the public school system in a conservative state as well as financially to give me courage that people want to see alternative programs for environmental justice in our education system.

Here is a link to the latest video summarizing our first semester with the Wasatch Wilderness Rites of Passage:

Next semester is about implementing action projects around environmental justice. The iMatterMarch for SLC ("Walking together as if the next generation matters") will be the framework for youth to get their communities involved in a participatory parade with a human powered floats - The floats, dances, songs, of each group will reflect what their community needs are in regard to our fossil fuel energy system that is polluting our neighborhoods and causing climate change. Our goal is to have 10,000 people in the parade and participation from every county in the state! Called a BHAG (Big Hairy Audacious Goal) youth will learn how to address their own dragons with courage.

Thanks for all your support

Ryan
