She is interested in preventive health and emotional and psychological aspects of modern and post-capitalist society. Committed to social evolution and change, she ponders what skills and functioning would develop outside the bounds of capitalist culture drawing upon her examination of pre-industrial societies and alternative lifestyles. She conducted in-depth interviews with dozens of members of egalitarian communities. She leads workshops, in which she creates a space for self-inquiry and sharing inspired by her analysis of the psychological and emotional aspects of modern and a post-capitalist society. After all, understanding the psychological, emotional, and cultural conditionings which underpin modernity is to understand oneself better.
