Barbara Lepani is the coordinator of The Enlivenment Network of artists, creatives, storytellers and culture change advocates who draw on ancient wisdom traditions, the insights of science, the nourishment of connection and the liberating power of story, to support a distinct paradigm shift to an ENLIVENMENT WORLDVIEW. A reworlding of our world, away from the technocratic, neo-liberal economics of profit maximisation, techno-harvesting of human emotions and alienation from the natural world, which underpins the intersecting crises of our times. Barbara worked closely with Amnyi Trulchung Rinpoche in New Zealand 2002-2005 and travelled with him and other students to Tibet in 2004. She regards him as a wonderful and inspiring example of how to live life from the viewpoint of compassionate courage.
