I’m Speaking at Adelaide Universtiy on Thursday 23rd May
UPDATE:
We made it!! Thanks to Kickstarter and the belief of some terrific friends, family members and people I’m yet to meet, we made the financial target to get my book published.
I’m so excited! We’ll be sharing updates on when the book will be available and inviting comments from those who read the book.
I feel so supported by the energy of a global citizen movement and for all that we might achieve together.
And now I’m off on another journey so I’ll be blogging about this while also helping to bring my book into being!

I’ve been writing a book over the last five years and it’s now ready to publish and I need your help. The book’s jumping off point is my conversation with Nelson Mandela where he encourages me to focus on citizen led change and to use conflict resolution skills. This becomes a touchstone for a journey to the heart of movement building, especially for women’s human rights.
Along the way, I meet a cast of inspired characters and so the book is both about my increasingly global engagement in social change action as well as a parallel spirit path of the internal challenges and experiences I encountered while doing this work.
In some ways the book is as much a handbook for those seeking to engage in social change work, locally and globally, as it is a memoir of a spirit lit journey. Anyway, the time seems right to publish now and this is where I need your support. I’m hoping my own community of friends and colleagues can help me publish this book, it has a working title of Citizen Jane: Transformative Citizenship in a global community of teachers, seekers and healers.
If you’d like to support me then please visit my Kickstarter page and see how you can help and where you can read an early chapter to give you a sense of the book’s rhythm and focus.
Thanks so much!

Jane, I think this book is beautifully written – with diverse knowledge and worldly experiences sprinkled in throughout.
The descriptive imagery of your experiences and feelings depict a maturing and hungry mind seeking for more answers and wisdom. And, well written!
You are courageous to write about and open yourself up to the world.
A wonderfully written first chapter!!!
Dear Jane, the book is so extremely well written, so vividly, so lively, so poetically! I read the two chapters nonstop. I like very much how you started with two great souls, your Grandma and Mandela. In the chapter 22 when you wrote “We’d discussed the possibility of establishing a social enterprise lab for students who were interested in international development approaches, I saw in my mind’s eye a great future for the world! How amazing as a development person, I too had an idea like this. Please keep on writing. These wonderful ideas inspire us all. –Upali Magedaragamage, Sri Lanka
HI Jane:
So Proud of you!! I can’t wait to get into the book.
Just FYI: I shared this on my facebook page and here is what I wrote..
The book is written by a good friend. Met her in Fiji, known her for 6 yrs now. 4 years of email friendship. She has since moved from Australia to the US, does amazing work with women. She is just as inspiring to be around as what she writes about. Her energy can be compared to the Sun–warm, radiant and life giving.
The book can be a good supplement for women’s studies, conflict resolution and citizen led social change!!
Jane you are truly inspiring!! Keep up the good work. Will come back with notes, once I have read some more on the book!! hugs
Oh another thing, I might use it as supplemental reading one of our class on Social Change…..:)
I am a single woman and I’m a refugee
