| ERIC (NICOLAS) SCHNEIDER is the founder of YL Magazine and accompanying ventures. Mysteriously guided from one magical discovery to another, Eric loves sharing the life-changing jewels, solutions and opportunities with everyone else beaming with the dream of creating and dancing a bright future. He interweaves all the paths and realms he has travelled ~ cultures, futures, solutions, education, learning, media, youth leadership, sustainability sciences, democracy, art, activism, healing, spirituality ~ to realise the VISION OF A GLOBAL, PEACEFUL,JUST AND SUSTAINABLE CIVILISATION, connect it to the young generation world-around, especially through schools, and empower them for powerful local change. > Shimmers from the Shoal |
| JULI HELL dwells in the world of holistic natural living ~ sensually, in liberty and harmony. From her journeys, Juli sends us flowers and seeds about community, caring, encounter, health, well-being, bodywork, therapies, self-sufficiency, and thereby nurtures our section on HEALTHY COMMUNITIES & LIFESTYLES. |
| BIEKE VAN DIJK is a former Kaospilot and her knowledge, resources and skills in LEADERSHIP & LEARNING are just crazy, inspirational and empowering! We dance together in bringing YL Magazine's Universe of solutions to the ground at youth conferences, campuses and learning festivals. That's with more of her friends from the Kaospilots and hubs. |
| SIMON ULVUND is another former Kaospilot and hub manager (Berlin and Bruxelles). Simon is a creative mind sparkling with extremely practical ideas for global networking, synergies of social entrepreneurship, new business culture, sustainability, living one's potentials and while doing it - having a great time with great people. Ah - hubs are powerful co-working spaces, making them now the world's fastest growing network of self-organised social entrepreneurs. So, from Simon, we get fruitful input on LEADERSHIP & SYNERGIES. And we cooperate in creating life-changing local events. |
| HEINER BENKING surfs the tidal wave of SUSTAINABILITY SCIENCES & HUMANITIES, incl those not yet named. He interconnects movers, carers, darers and institutions for synergies, often using new formats of communication, dialogue, learning, democracy and governance. If he was a marvel superhero, he would be the In-Betweener. There's few people who fully understand the things behind Heiner's words, but Eric has dived deep into his Universe, and knows ... this is Wow! The Benking Universe @ Personal site and blog. And that's why we can tap into an extraordinary realm of potentials. Eric also shares a bottom line with Heiner: 'hanta yo!' That's Lakotah for 'Clear the Way.' |
| HELMUT BURKHARD Founding President of the Council on Global Issues taking a systemic, interdisplinary look at global issues, Helmut is a helpful advisor on SUSTAINABILITY SCIENCES. Being an emeritus professor in chemistry and physics, he knows well about the biological and physical limits of the biosphere, providing us exceptional views on vital matters like energy, food, population... This helps us stay well on top of bogus solutions promoted by last-century corporate-profit driven politics, science councils and media. |
| COPTHORNE MACDONALD is an acclaimed author of books and radio series on PRACTICALLY APPLIED WISDOM ~ such as Matters of Consequence, Toward Wisdom and Getting a Life, all available for free download at his Personal site. Wisdom being one of the most important things for a human being, and for humankind at this time, Cop has developed an exceptional, free online course that we warmly recommend to take & share > Wisdom 101 If any dictum has been central to Cop's life, it has been Goethe's advice to "go and dare before you die." |
| TUBULLS CHA-LIHA of Lakotah and Inuit roots, living strictly by the Warrior values of the Lakotah ~ Being an unconditional Giver ~ co-kickstarted the 60's HIP movement (HIP, a term originally coined by the media for 'Highly Intelligent People'), circled the globe on foot, facilitated the intertribal movement, founded communes, took his kids down the Amazon in a dug out canoe, got his own private jet, went back to street music, spent 5 winters on the Arctic Yukon, lived on a sailboat for 5 years, survived the eye of a hurricane, followed the sun living off fun road stand businesses... - inspiring young world travellers, while providing an economic roof under which they could experiment and unfold their visions, dreams, talents, heal and taste the magic of life, then sail on under a blue sky filled with eternal memories. In Camp Good Heart he is a uniquely powerful inspiration and mentor. His mastery of both the circular and the linear world makes him a rare cross-disciplinary scholar and unique guide in flying up to gain an aerial overview of the labyrinth of modern society's Culture of Unsustainability ~ and showing ways out. Based on the wisdom of ancient traditions. You get the picture. We are building on more than eco-theory ;-) This is about the Magical Life! Ahó, Mitakuye Oyasin! Lila Wash-té! |
