Missy Lahren (Producer & Writer) – has worked in environmental protection in the San Francisco Bay Area since 1993 as an activist, lawyer, and board member. As a lawyer, she focused on citizen suits and enforcement cases in California’s Federal Courts primarily under the Clean Water Act.
Missy will finish her Masters Degree in Philosophy this Spring that focused on the evolution of western thought. With her doctoral work, she plans to explore the ways wisdom traditions and thinkers like Joanna Macy can be brought into mainstream K-12 education. She believes the roles of the divine feminine and indigenous traditions are waiting to be rediscovered, and if nurtured, can provide much needed insight for the young leaders of tomorrow. As part of this project, she plans to develop and publish various integrative leadership curriculums for teens.
Missy believes in a world where there is an enforceable Universal Declaration of Human Rights that insures hope, abundance, safety, and the protection of the planet and for everyone. Her curriculum development will also embed these values and offer a roadmap to make them a reality. Finding concrete ways of taking action towards these goals is a core value that has been a consistent part of her path. The Future of Energy film project was a natural fit for her because it coincides with her goal of inspiring a new generation of dynamic change agents to step forward and lead us into the 21st century.
