She traveled the John Muir Trail from the Mist Trail in Yosemite Valley (elevation 4000 feet) to the top of Mt. Whitney (elevation 14,497 feet), the highest mountain in the continental United States.

The hike took 25 days, through the beautiful part of the high Sierra, which she did solo carrying only a tent, a sleeping bag and enough food to keep going.

The relatively new fields of cognitive science, neuroscience, memory investigation and more, are finally uncovering the nature and form of the human mind. The home of self, source of emotion, recorder of past, discoverer of knowledge, imaginer of future, master of Philosophy, conjurer of the super natural, and builder of civilization – the container, no less, of our entire personal world. As science uncovers this phenomenon of human consciousness, what practical benefits might these insights offer to humanity? Will they help us to better achieve social justice, to develop more effective economic systems, and to return, if possible, to a healthy and thriving material balance with the natural environmental? What are we coming to realize as human beings, and might it lead us to become a more civilized, joyful and healthier species on Planet Earth?
