Bob Stilger
Bob Stilger, Ph.D., is an activist-scholar who focuses on fostering connections, strengthening leadership, and regenerating community. Over the last two decades, Bob’s attention has been drawn to questions of how we create the lives and communities we actually want in times of disaster, crises, and collapse. The COVID-19 Pandemic of 2020 is but the latest in a litany of crises inviting us to consider how we as human beings are living on our small planet. https://newstories.org/team/bob-stilger/
Stephen Murphy-Shigematsu
Stephen Murphy-Shigematsu has helped youth transform their lives at Harvard University, the University of Tokyo, and Stanford University for nearly 40 years. He integrates Eastern and Western ways in designing gentle, healing, inclusive spaces for developing compassion for self and others. His latest books include From Mindfulness to Heartfulness: Transforming Self and Society & The Stanford Way of Ultimate Leadership. Stephen will speak on his Stanford research and practice of heartful communities, about which a student affirms: “What happens in this class is a kind of tiny miracle…we’re filled with gratitude for each other and just for being here.”.
