Greetings everyone,

This is my first posting on the listserv. I'm originally from India (0-22 years), then lived in the US for 6 years and am currently working on a 15-month business consulting/volunteer assignment in Romania.

I am interested in helping develop curriculum for Systems Thinking in the areas of 1) Sustainability (which was my MBA concentration), and 2) Mathematics (my favorite subject growing up). I plan to start some workshops on systems thinking in schools here in Romania. Things are challenging right now though - teachers all over the country have been on strike for over 3 weeks!

Specifically in Sustainability: I am interested in the triple-bottom-line concepts (people, profits and the planet), and possibly even going further and adding a fourth dimension called Transpersonal. My mental model of Transpersonal has many similarities with: 1) Maslow's stages of developmental psychology (sixth stage), 2) Yogic stages of self-realization (subtle stage), and 3) Peter Senge's idea of "Personal Mastery."

I look forward to your support (in organizing workshops), learning from you all, and providing support in developing curriculum.

regards,
Amit
