VISION-MISSION and
Visioning Council

Our vision: We envision a world where people and Nature are co-creative partners and all life has the right to thrive.

Our mission: The Organization of Nature Evolutionaries creates educational opportunities in listening to and building relationships with the Living Earth.  Honoring our Sacred connection with Nature is the foundation of our work.


ONE'S Visioning Council is the guiding force for our mission and work. This group of leading Nature Evolutionaries volunteer their creativity, time, and resources. They share a strong commitment to the Earth and a dedication to co-creative partnership with Nature.

  • Myra Jackson

    Earth Elder, Myra L. Jackson has held a diverse array of hefty careers in engineering, holographic organizational development and academia. While those experiences might seem divergent from her deep mystical roots, she found that her early training in electrical theory, physics and music informed her inner and outer life. Today, that training provides useful metaphorical language in discussing the physics of now that points to our intrinsic bond with Nature.

    Today, Myra carries the title of Diplomat of the Biosphere with a primary focus on transforming our societal relationship with Nature through public policy approaches that recognize Nature's intrinsic rights to exist whole along with all Her lifeforms. In listening to the Earth, Myra strives to fully realize the aspirational premise of the luminous thread she carries within the web of life (Intra-Being).

  • Lauren Valle
