#95 Geneen Marie Haugen: The Creative Power in our Imagination and Awareness

Geneen Marie Haugen, PhD, grew up as a free-range wildish kid with a run amok imagination. She is a guide to the experiential, intertwined mysteries of nature and psyche with the Animas Valley Institute, and is on the faculty of the Esalen Institute, Schumacher College, and the Fox Institute for Creation Spirituality. Her writing has appeared in many journals and books, including Spiritual Ecology: The Cry of the Earth; Thomas Berry: Dreamer of the Earth; Parabola Journal; Ecopsychology Journal; DailyGood.org; High Country News; and others.

She answers the question of “What Could Possibly Go Right?” with thoughts including:

• The power in our unique creativity and imagination as human beings
• The value of becoming more receptive to the dreams and consciousness of the community, earth and universe around us
• The increasing awareness of traditional Indigenous and ecological knowledge in the Western worldview
