For the past 19 years Jeanne and Dick Roy have been working tirelessly as full-time volunteers to heal our world, co-founding the Northwest Earth Institute in 1993 and the Center for Earth Leadership in 2006 . In the face of so much "bad news," what sustains and motivates them? How do they overcome despair and avoid burnout? With host Stephanie Potter, Jeanne and Dick share their insight and experience in choosing hope over pessimism.
They will also be sharing their insights on May 5, in a 3 hour workshop called The Practice of Hope, offered free of charge (with pre-registration). Their intention is to elevate hope among those who seek to create a sustainable future. They also made a TEDx talk on this topic. Through the Center for Earth Leadership, the Northwest Earth Institute, and the Oregon Natural Step Network, Dick and Jeanne Roy have inspired thousands to take responsibility and action to care for the earth.
