Based in Victoria, BC, Canada, Stan works with his life partner, Ann
Jacob, in their private practice with individuals, relationships,
families, business, government, and nongovernment organizations; to
promote awareness and choices, from deep inner spiritual to consensus
reality.
Coma Communication
We teach caregivers and family to relate with more awareness to
clients and loved ones in metabolic coma near death, traumatic brain
injury, autism, and end stage Alzheimer's/dementia. We are also on
the faculty of the Sacred Art of Living and Dying Center and The
Anamcara Project, and serve on the Board of ComaCARE based in South
Africa.
Ecological Mirrors
Environmental organizations looking after their own environment. It
is our aim to help find underlying meaning and direction for the
wholeness of nature and human nature, within environmental
nongovernment organizations' internal and inter group conflicts.
Friends of the Stikine Society
As chair of the Board of Directors of this charity, I endeavour to
bring awareness to, animals, plants, and natural habitats that cannot
speak for themselves and are sometimes marginalised by main stream
political and economic pressures of our society.
Cassiar-Iskut-Stikine Land and Resource Management Planning Table
Ann and I sit as stakeholders in First Nations/BC government
negotiations over land management in the Stikine, Iskut, and Unuk
watersheds in northwestern BC, Canada. The Table runs on consensus.
We utilize our worldwork skills to bring awareness to all levels of
negotiation: individual, relationship, small group, large group,
political, and economic.
