Play with this moment. It may give you an opportunity to dance with the sublime. This week we talk with community leader and environmentalist Effie Turnbull Sanders and explore the theme of Reverence inspired by the Gratitude Blooming sunflower. Last year, Effie brought the Gratitude Blooming Circle practice to her team at the University of Southern California where she is the VP of civic engagement and economic partnerships. The weekly practice has helped her team become both more vulnerable and playful, which has been important with more remote working. Effie also shares how as a six year old in a rural coal town in Virginia beginning her own dialogue with nature. Her reverence for nature has only grown since then. Active in public and nonprofit service, Turnbull Sanders is currently a governor’s appointee and environmental justice commissioner for the California Coastal Commission. Turnbull Sanders has been an active board member and adviser to the Los Angeles League of Conservation Voters and the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy. We appreciate your support and help so we can bloom!
