We can feel the inner guidance speaking life into our path. Krista Hiser, a beloved Nia teacher at Still &amp; Moving Center since our founding, shares how this kind of experience led her towards what she can honestly call her DREAM job.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAs I walked over the M\u0101noa Valley stream one evening in 2002, surrounded by a gentle misting rain and light wind, I felt suddenly suffused with a \u2018body-knowing,\u201d Krista reflects. \u201cI gasped, sensing that something massive was happening to the planet. The <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">knowing <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">hit me as if saying: Everything must change. Nature filled me with a knowledge that environmental changes are happening even more rapidly than scientists dare to predict.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Krista walked away from this experience at the stream with an inextinguishable sense of responsibility for affecting positive environmental change. How she could accomplish this task from the universe she did not know \u2013 until recently, this summer, when seemingly out of the blue, she landed the job of her dreams.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cA transformative learning experience cannot be undone,\u201d Krista explains.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Krista, who was a new professor at Kapi\u2019olani Community College at that time (and remains affiliated with this community college in Honolulu), felt her teaching style drastically change after that day at the M\u0101noa Valley stream. \u201cI read everything I could about climate change, bought one of the first generation hybrid cars, and got much more into sustainability,\u201d Krista recalls. As an English teacher, she found a way to shift her classes into sustainability-based topics for writing, to which her students were very receptive.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Krista\u2019s path to this ideal job brought no accidents. And to fully comprehend the significance of what she felt and \u201cheard\u201d at the stream, you must understand a little bit about how her life pivoted at that instance. Although she felt drawn to research how young people understand climate change, there was no environmental psychology program at the time, so she ended up taking her Ph.D. in Educational Administration, which turned out &#8211; in retrospect &#8211; to be the perfect degree for her. The University later hired Krista to introduce a system to help UH faculty across all ten campuses to include sustainability and climate change information in all academic disciplines. She designed an Academic Subject Certificate in Sustainability as an option for all undergraduate students. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Her 2009 dissertation had taken a deep look into the question: \u201cWhat do college students know, think and feel about climate change?\u201d Krista expanded the same study through the UH System Office of Sustainability in 2018, replicating the research across eight University of Hawaii campuses. This became known as the\u00a0 <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/jces.ua.edu\/articles\/10.54656\/IOWF3526\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWorry and Hope Study\u201d<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Nowadays we hear about \u2018climate-anxiety\u2019 and \u2018eco-anxiety\u2019 a lot, but academics used to be \u201cjust big brains sitting on desks!\u201d<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Krista explains, \u201cOurs was one of the early studies showing the latent emotional mind frame of students, with five predominant emotions: anger, fear, sadness, shame, and hope.\u201d She was both distressed and motivated to discover that the most common emotion towards climate change amongst students was fear.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During her Ph.D. program, she was simultaneously training for her Nia Black Belt. The values of Nia intertwined with her approach to sustainability work. Her movement practice informed her professional practice. In Nia, she learned to explore the emotional realm, which she creatively interwove with her academic work. She understood from Nia how when a person is in fear, they are inhibited from learning at all. Nia focuses on JOY \u2013 and Krista wondered, &#8216;where is the value of Joy in academics?&#8217; She played with this overlap of academics, Joy, and movement while doing her research on the emotional component of learning. The combination helped her to glean that we need to approach climate change on a different level than the rational mind or the reptilian brain can get to when paralyzed by fear! Nia deals with CHOICE and neuroplasticity, so we as human beings can always choose our response to any situation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cNia played a significant part in my pathless path,\u201d tells Krista. Nia training is not just for teaching movement, it\u2019s also for personal development. It guides us to \u201cHeed the mandate of Spirit.\u201d With this courage-infusing mantra, she continued to listen deeply to that message she received in M\u0101noa Valley. She just kept on \u201ckeepin\u2019 on\u201d, listening to and addressing that question of \u201cHow are today\u2019s youth responding to calamitous climate change, and how can we support them?\u201d\u00a0 Krista admits with a chuckle, \u201cWithout my Nia practice and community, I would have been more of a mind-heavy academic.\u201d Instead, she went to the level of deep feeling, from which she felt impelled to act.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI\u2019ve also had the privilege of working personally with Debbie Rosas, co-Founder of Nia, who is so receptive to mandates from Spirit and listening to the voices of the body, mind, and spirit. Debbie is an exemplar of listening to her intuition. So Nia and the Nia way of learning also prepared me for this new job.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This summer, in the middle of a year-long sabbatical, Krista noticed a job opening for \u201cSenior Advisor &amp; Lead for Sustainability Education\u201d at the Global Council for Science and the Environment (GCSE), a non-profit, non-partisan council in Washington DC. The nonprofit works with federal agencies such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and higher education researchers. In her new job and life mission, Krista will lead a fresh initiative for sustainability education. When she saw the job, she felt like: \u201cOh! I\u2019ve been waiting for you, without knowing it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAll I did,\u201d marvels Krista, \u201cwas to effortlessly follow the question that had grabbed me, developing a network of other people following the same question. I had space to notice when this job posting crossed my path. I did notice it and I had the relationships in place to say, \u201cHey I think I\u2019m this person you\u2019re looking for!\u201d Her new colleagues obviously agree.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Did you know there are now 1000 environmental and sustainability programs in American colleges and universities that currently share no common standards? Krista\u2019s new job arises out of that surprising fact, and she will seek to remedy that problem. Her job will develop and promote a shared learning framework to a community-led accreditation pathway for such programs throughout the country and globe \u2013 and this work will be implemented with a &#8220;JEDI&#8221; mindset towards climate Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Krista is particularly keen on developing a \u2018Head\/Heart\/Hands\u2019 competency for students in the fields of climate change, food, energy, and water. This approach is still quite new to higher education. \u201cWe have to recognize kinesthetic intelligence, meaning we have to get out in the environment and do something. Sustainability professors won\u2019t be allowed to just sit in an air-conditioned classroom &#8211; they\u2019ll have to take their students out to Waikiki and see the signs of rising sea levels. They have to work in the forest with the invasive Albizia trees. It\u2019s got to be integrative to be truly educational. And hasn\u2019t Nia trained me well for that approach?!?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Krista has transitioned to a \u201cprofessional leave of absence\u201d with the support of Kapi\u2019olani Community College. \u201cEverything I was doing at the UH system to get sustainability into the whole curriculum, system-wide, was a smaller vision of what I\u2019m being asked to do now. Everything I did was leading up to this job\u2026in an almost magical way,\u201d she muses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Krista sums it all up: \u201cBasically, I\u2019m in awe of where all of my life choices have taken me \u2013 to a job where I can affect professors and students around the country and the globe to more effectively address climate change. WOW. I\u2019m in awe.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We, as her friends at Still &amp; Moving, are SO inspired by Krista\u2019s courage to follow her own inner \u2018knowing\u2019. We feel thrilled to watch her ask her driving questions, and follow her thread of life choices that she can share with our coming generations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thanks for taking us along, dancing through life, Krista!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243;
