MINDFooL grounds its work in conscious (r)evolution, an understanding that 1.) life evolves naturally, 2.) our greatest gift as humans is our ability to evolve in real.time, and 3.) revolutionary societal transformation is made up of billions of these individual, interpersonal, and collective evolutions.
MINDFooL is developing the EMRLD skills framework, which outlines five skill areas we as humans need to practice in order to bring the conscious (r)evolution theory to life. These skill areas are Embodied Agency, Mindful Attention, Relational Equity, Liberatory Design, and Delight.
MINDFooL incubates projects that blur the lines between mindful inquiry, performance, and values-based organizing.
Vision: A Planet Earth filled with lighter being.
Mission: Research and design projects to study, practice, and demonstrate conscious (r)evolution and the EMRLD skills framework "off the cushion" and in "real.time."
Christopher "Sonnyboy" Finch is a traveler, multi-medium performance artist, mindfulness-based facilitator, attention activist, and lover of life who studies, practices, and (de)constructs at the edges of human be-ing. With a heart made from many homes, he holds deeper connections in the suburban gulf coastal region (southeast Houston) and the northeastern megalopolis-islands (New York City) along this vast, diverse, and aching land called Turtle Island (U.S.A.).
He brings 12 years of interdisciplinary experience alongside 100s of collaborators at groups like Esalen Institute, Battleground Texas, Fly Dance Company, the B Corp movement, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, DoSomething.org, Artichoke Dance Ambassadors, Working Families Party candidates, Global Citizen Music Festival, RFK Human Rights, the Obama White House, and more.
Christopher specializes in "off the cushion" mindfulness for performing artists, nonprofits, entrepreneurs, and public figures, helping them tap into their presence and expression, and meet their artistic, creative, and strategic challenges head on. Learn more about Christopher and his work here.
