The discovery and illumination of a life-centric and transformative worldview is central to my research, education, and mindmapping goals. Mindmaps are not networks, and are not equivalent to concept maps. Mindmaps mimic nature while highlighting process, patterns, self-organization, and emergence. Mindmapping unites words and shapes into simple patterns; mindmapping is fun and facilitates transformative understanding. Participants in this seminar will:

- learn to contrast complex phenomena (nature) with complicated systems (technology), while appreciating and applying that understanding to their own work and life

- survey the diversity of mindmap forms/types (and their applications) via an engaging narrative told through mindmaps, and

- create a mindmap of their own that illuminates a research-related concept, a course syllabus, or the essential elements that catalyze and perpetuate personal sustainability.
