Originally from the "Gold Country" of Northern California, Felicia was a resident of Marin County from 1995 to 2022. She completed her B.A in Psychology at Dominican (1999), and a Green MBA (2007) at New College of California. Most recently she has earned a PhD in Mythological Studies at Pacifica Graduate Institute (2017). Her dissertation title is Sustainability and Spirituality: Common Threads and Common Threats. She is passionate about scientific literacy, direct spiritual experience, and a systems thinking approach to sustainability. From June 2018 to July 2022 Felicia was president of the Marin chapter of the United Nations Association. Felicia’s systems thinking training is varied. Whilst a student in the Green MBA program she first learned about the discipline from Bruce McKenzie, who calls his particular expertise “systemics.” Later as a PhD student, she incorporated systems thinking into her dissertation, drawing largely from Fritjof Capra and Pier Luigi Luisi’s The Systems View of Life, and later completed the Capra Course. She has also completed the Presencing Institute’s Foundation Training (Theory U), and +Acumen’s Omidyar Group systems mapping training. Felicia has worked with a variety of for-profit and non-profit entities, and is no stranger to public service. Her experience includes working for the California League of Conservation Voters, serving as the staff representative to the board for two years. From 2002-03 she was the Associate Director of the Marin Cancer Project, working with Judi Shills to establish a 501(c)(3), and to recruit 2,000 volunteers who knocked on 65,000 doors in Marin. She has also worked as a consultant to corporate clients, including Autodesk and Delta Dental, helping them to implement more sustainable practices. Recently, in addition to earning her PhD, Felicia has built websites, including LifeLikeHoney.net, and IntroductionToSustainability.com. Previously she volunteered with the Friends Committee on National Legislation (FCNL). To learn more, visit www.feliciachavez.com.
