Lori Ryker, Lecture Series part II

The second part of Lori Ryker's lecture, was a continuation of her last lecture on changing one's future through ways of civic engagement. During this lecture Lori once again stressed the importance of design through engagement in ones surroundings, and why the process of practice is a crucial tool to achieve that.

Many times in a society driven by monetary gains people only see value on the end product ignoring the process in between. The process of practice is a way for you to engage in the earth and your surroundings, you shouldn't be scared to practice or to take "risk" as it is a way to enable your creativity. The adventures and risks you take during this process can be viewed as an art piece, so we must place value on the process also to create designs that engage the earth. Lori ended the lecture by revealing the winner of the survey, which was "create, preserve, persevere".
