Presentation Description

The holiday season, filled with generosity and gratitude, is over. It's natural to heave a sigh of regret and reluctantly jump back into life as usual. What would it be like if we could live life abundantly, not just during those special times, but all of the time? In this fast moving presentation, Ali and Michael will talk about the differences between scarcity, sufficiency, and abundance mindsets; steps to move toward an abundance mentality. Participants will discuss exercises and resources to assist with moving toward a more profound and rich life.

Presenter Information

Amy V. Hoppock

Two parts of my life inform and inspire most of my writing. I'm a fifth-generation Idahoan who grew up in the shadows of the Sawtooths on the Camas Prairie. The gift of motherhood to my children Reid & Delana. My roots and the future are where I find inspiration and hope.

I'm a Spiritual Director in Training (I'll be certified in late 2022). It's something I was made to do.

 If you ever need a good book suggestion, I'm your gal. I read 80 plus books each year. I read everything from spiritual formation, World War II novels, murder mysteries, and books on trees.

P.S. I write a newsletter every Sunday evening. It's called Smaller & Deeper. What if smaller was the goal? What if deeper was the invitation?

Davin Carr-Chellman

My family is the most important part of who I am. Asher, Jules, and Aila are my three wonderful children (Davin and Jules pictured here), and Ali is my amazing wife of 24 years. 

I serve as Associate Professor of Education at the University of Dayton and am lucky to have found employment at two other equally remarkable universities along the way: Penn State and the University of Idaho.  My work as a faculty member, educator, and researcher is a labor of love. It is generative, life-giving work, primarily from the collaborative colleagues and students who help me. 

I am co-editor of Adult Learning, a research journal for anyone studying or practicing adult education, and am Chair-Elect of the Commission for Professors of Adult Education, a national organization of the American Association of Adult and Continuing Education. 

I have edited or co-written three books, the most recent of which is Step by Step: Living More Meaningfully, Joyfully, and Deeply Each Day, the second volume in the profound living series.  I love academic research  and writing, most of which explores human learning, potential, and flourishing. Regardless of the context, my personal and professional ambition is always to be useful.
