The Authentic Expression of My Voice
Orland Bishop describes the unique blend of mentoring, peacemaking, and community leadership that takes place at his L.A.-based Shade Tree Multicultural Foundation. Orland explains how mentoring dialogue integrates human cognition with the continuities of nature, releasing energy into the human personality in the form of willpower and inspiration.
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.
