Gary Robbins

Born into the Kettle Moraine landscape of SE Wisconsin, and shaped also by the rolling farmland hills of SW Wisconsin, Gary Robbinsis a man who has always sought to be in “Right Relationship” with others and the Earth as well.  In his working years he sought to empower people to be informed enough to make major life decisions, based on their own considered “interests,” while expanding their concepts of the possible and being sensitive to the interests of those within their circle of family, friends and community, with a further goal of growing the circle of “we” and “us.”  In his retirement years he has found that the work of Pachamama Alliance, the Earth Charter and the Rights of Nature are beautiful expressions of how mankind can, and must, finally learn to honor Mother Nature (Pachamama), the Source of all living beings in the world, discover ways to bolster their own spiritual well-being and to create a kind, compassionate and just social system that honors “All our Relations.”  He believes in the UUA Principles, including: “The inherent worth and dignity of every person;” “Justice, equity and compassion in human relations;” with “Respect for the interdependent web of all existence, of which we are a part.” Education, experience and beliefs are really important only when they are truly "embodied" in our daily living in "transformative community."
