brad davis has spent a lifetime working as a transformative educator in Canada and internationally, from teaching university leadership social justice programs to instructing river paddling, bringing youth and adults into nature, performing in popular theatre productions, advising and mentoring university adult learners, to facilitating community workshops and educator training programs. After working in India I began integrating yoga and meditation into my work while living beside the Salish Sea on Vancouver Island. I now live in London, Ontario beside the Thames River, or Deshkan Ziibi (Anishinaabemowin for Antler River) continuing my practice of bicycling most places, seeing the world through nature’s lenses and flows, working in uncomfortable spaces and aspiring to create relationships of deep listening in work and play.
