Intuition

L.A.-based community activist Orland Bishop explains that oneness is the source of intuition, which allows us to touch a common truth beyond our memory, culture and conditioned responses. By choosing to reflect on the reality "behind thinking," human beings have access to incredible freedom.

Orland Bishop is the founder and director of ShadeTree Multicultural Foundation in Los Angeles, where he has pioneered approaches to urban truces and mentoring at-risk youth that combine new ideas with traditional ways of knowledge. ShadeTree serves as an intentional community of mentors, elders, teachers, artists, healers and advocates for the healthy development of children and youth. Orland's work in healing and human development is framed by an extensive study of medicine, naturopathy, psychology and indigenous cosmologies, primarily those of South and West Africa.
