From being a sniper in the Australian special forces and serving and surviving 3 years in the Iraq war to being a world-renowned anti-poaching and environmentalist, Damien Mander's story is one of deep integrity and transformation.
After a trip to Africa and seeing first-hand the unjust cruelty and devastation of poaching, Damien liquidated his life savings to establish the International Anti-Poaching Foundation, now known as Akashinga. It's an incredible story with an impact that will last long after Damien is gone.
In a world awash in unbodied words and actions. Where manufactured outrage and energy are given over to insignificance. Damien Mander shows us what is possible when we take embodied, heart-based, service-orientated action. No words are necessary. If we truly care about generations to come, there needs to be a shift in awareness away from that of exploiters of our earth to the essential role of guardians.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
