Craig is the Academic Program Director of Consciousness, Psychology, and Transformation at National University, and has taught at both the California Institute of Integral Studies, and Pacifica Graduate Institute. And has recently founded Lampcove which is a part of the Pronaia Academy and was created to address the dire need for a New Kind of Change Agent.
Craig and I met a few years back at a conference where he spoke about field of inquiry and action that he has named Enchantivism which denote the actions of creative people at every level of society who give us glimpses of how things could be, making collective change through inspiration.
Among many threads of inquiry, Craig sees the need for a new kind of change agent who are the cultural edge-walkers with untapped potential for change. They are not dependent on the heroic-patriarchal model of change and can help us turn away from a culture of hyper-individualistic materialism that has unmoored us from the inner, social, and natural worlds and connect us to a new collective, overarching Big Story or “mythology” of meaning that outworn Patriarchal religion and modern materialism clearly no longer offer.
