Extended Bio Profile:
Ms. Macagnoni believes that the future of our planet depends upon a distinctly new collaboration of education, spirituality and industry. Synchronicity is available to all. Her work, PROJECT GIFT, standing for generativity, integrity, faith and transformation, is a seed. It is her configuration for 'Well-Being,' a set of research-based probes, which is a highlight of her first electronic book, toward a New Aesthetic. The first chapter, 'Toward a New Aesthetic,' was published in the 2007 Illinois Association for Gifted Children Journal. Her latest piece was performed at the Create 08 Creativity Conference on the University of Georgia Campus in Costa Rica, sponsored by the The University of Georgia Center for Creativity and Talent Development. Her second electronic book, is 'The Rosary,' as an open-ended meditation. She wishes to express her gratitude to Teilhard de Chardin-inspired Brian Swimme and Thomas Berry, as they so eloquently have illuminated 'Celebration of the Unfolding of the Cosmos,' the saving of our world for our children, as our great work into the future. Quantum theory continues to support such work. Project Gift is her attempt at invitation to such participation. I celebrate becoming a Secular Franciscan. I celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the University of Georgia College of Education.
