My heart is singing over here, witnessing my students change the world. Go AG! Look at his wonderful platform.

A former Google software engineer, Neyer said he’s running because he sees a need to shift to a more innovative and inclusive political system that encourages more people to participate. The existing system, he said, is “still wrapped up in a lot of very old and divisive ways of thinking.”

“The benefits of the Ecopsychology program at Naropa for young professionals is multifaceted: it provided me with a conceptual understanding of transdisciplinary approaches to creative problem solving for our world’s ecological crises. It also gifted me the practical processes through which I can sustain myself and others while engaging challenging work in our fields and the unfolding collective experience of our world in ecologically, politically, psychologically, etc., novel times.

I came to the Ecopsychology program with a background in the natural sciences and the understanding that, while significant, that particular paradigm of methodologies for engaging the world was greatly limited. It allowed me the space to explore for myself what is most meaningful in service of all life, where my particular gifts were in engaging that, while also providing me with the applied tools to follow these insights professionally.

Now, I am well-equipped to be on a PhD track with teaching opportunities, work for the California Institute of Integral Studies as a program manager in the department of Professional Psychology and Health, and explore the realms of teaching and leading group mindfulness meditation, which comes directly from the Ecopsychology program’s dedicated encouragement of it students and communities to engage contemplative practice. It fulfills the holistic requirements of resourcing its students both inwardly and outwardly, particularly where proficiency in community building and engagement, leadership, creative entrepreneurship, and written/communication skills are concerned. I am so thankful for my time spent at Naropa University and would not hold this wealth of professional opportunity without my experience as a master’s student in Ecopsychology.”
