An Economy that Serves All
A Panel Discussion with Young Proutists
Description: Young Proutists from around the world will share their perspectives, hopes, and ideas for evolving the world's economy to one that honors the dignity, value, and needs of all living beings.
Facilitating the panel is Rebekah Moan. She has been extolling the benefits of Prout since she was in high school and wanted to start a magazine devoted to it. While that didn't happen, she did become a journalist and is currently the newsletter editor of the Prout Alliance quarterly newsletter. She has her own business working as a freelance journalist, writing content for businesses, and ghostwriting for therapists (www.rebekahmoan.com). She shares wisdom, spiritual insights, and critiques of capitalism every Monday on her blog www.anotherworldisprobable.com, which is also available as a podcast.
Gabrielle Astier was introduced to Prout in 2008 and has been captivated by it ever since. She has a degree in architecture and urbanism and works as an undergraduate teacher in the Northeast of Brazil where she also designs ecological buildings. She works with indigenous and quilombola populations, creating ecological sanitary waste treatment systems.
Note:A quilombola is an Afro-Brazilian resident of quilombo settlements first established by escaped slaves in Brazil. They are the descendants of Afro-Brazilian slaves who escaped from slave plantations that existed in Brazil until abolition in 1888.
Shriraksha Mohan has been studying and promoting Prout ever since she heard about Prout as a holistic and spiritually oriented socio-economic model. She has a Master’s Degree in Computer Science and has had a long career as a software professional. To gain a better understanding of Economics, she is now pursuing a Master’s of Science Degree in Social and Applied Economics. As a member of Prout Alliance and Proutist Universal, she is actively working on Prout advocacy through Prout education, writing, and outreach efforts on Prout's social media. She is the co-author of a chapter on Prout in the book, Climate Adaptation: Accounts of Resilience, Self-Sufficiency and Systems Change.
