Cultural Exchange
Allow me to introduce myself.
Doug has been an advocate for positive change during his entire career as an Educator and advocate for youth. Now retired he continues this work in his teaching at Western Washington University and in community groups such as the Bellingham Compassion Movement, The Indigenous Studies and Honor Day Foundation, The Bellingham Storytellers Guild, and the Nu Wa International Peace Delegation. As an Educator, Keynote, and Professional Storyteller Doug understands the power of story to hinder or promote change. Doug’s knowledge and understanding of the application of Story to promote change at all levels of our lives is well recognized. Doug’s workshops on STORYTRAPS are fast paced, informative, and immediately applicable to those that attend. Once participants become familiar with the concept of STORYTRAPS they will have a tool to assess the obstacles to positive change in their lives, business, or community and their awareness of STORYTRAPS will continue to grow long after the workshop. Doug’s keynotes are meaningful and crafted to the specific audience. His storytelling concerts are lively and energetic. Doug brings his characters alive in the room while using a variety of musical instruments to move the story into the listeners and the listeners into the story.

- Hi - I am writing to ask for your support in creating a compassionate world. When I started the Compassionate Action Network I was hoping that social networks could be part of how we activate the will and find a way to make just and lasting change. I am grateful that you joined this network and I sincerely hope that it has made some difference in your life and your community.
It was the action part of compassionate action that got my attention. So now I invite you to be part of taking another step forward together. I ask that you take two minutes to join the 10 Year Campaign for Compassionate Cities if you haven’t already.
We need 1,000 people to join by March 15 to have the Mayor and City Council follow through on their end. If you personally join the campaign and share or send this on to others we will take a big collective step forward in building our capacity to make change happen. This is not just another petition, what you do will make a difference. You can learn more about this here
You don’t need to be a Seattle resident to join this campaign, and this idea is spreading. Campaigns have started or are starting in Vancouver, BC, Bellingham, Bellevue, Issaquah, Spokane, Portland, San Francisco, and London.
If there ever was a time to stand together and affirm that what each of us does and does not do makes a difference it is now. I ask that you find the time to add your name to the growing list of people awakening compassion in our cities and our world. Join here now
