Bio: Ian Sanderson, Mohawk Nation, Turtle clan, from the Grand River Reserve in Ontario, Canada, has spent over 25 years inspiring awareness and reconnection to self, community, and the rest of the natural world by exploring convergences of the philosophies and epistemologies found in Indigenous, Eastern, and Western traditions to realize empowered personal transformation and socio-ecological change. He is currently a core faculty member with the Environmental Studies program at Naropa University, where he has taught for 13 years. Ian's work has expanded in recent years to include the application of complexity, Indigenous systems-thinking, and regenerative design frameworks in the hope of inspiring the revitalization of the potential that resides amongst the chaos of modern contexts.
