The Hidden History of Helen Samuels: The Woman Who Turned Gang Members Into Earth Guardians

Join us for an encore discussion with twentieth century Shero Helen Samuels This part of hidden women’s history is the environmental activist and social pioneer Helen Samuels as we discuss the shift of ages. At the heart of Helen Samuels’ work was a radical understanding: People do not need to be fixed. They need to be reconnected. Reconnected to: • their own sense of worth • their place in community • their relationship to the Earth • and their capacity to create change This insight forms the foundation of what we now call human consciousness awakening. It is the shift from seeing ourselves as isolated individuals struggling to survive, to recognizing ourselves as participants in a larger, interconnected system of life. For the youth Helen worked with, this shift was transformative. Because when someone begins to see themselves differently, their entire trajectory changes.
