Applied Anthropology

Healing Evolution Applied Anthropology acknowledges the principle of activist research, the concept that the observer and the observed are mutually influencing each other. The goal of HEAA is to honor each cultural community in their integrity, and their process of integration with the global society. There is a way to self-empower and preserve communities in their ethnic ways of life, as well as enhance their success in adaptation to worldly influences. Just as individuals can stand strong in themselves, develop in ways they choose for their visions and well-being, have healthy, balanced relationships with others, so can small cultural ethnic groups. HEAA has the goal to bring out the expressions and integrity of tribal groups, meanwhile aiding them and assisting them in their own process of development, on their own terms.  The main objectives of Healing Evolution are to support sustainable, community-led development, desired social networking, and aid in human rights work if necessary.

HEAA focuses on tribal societies in the greater contexts of their worldly relations, self-preservation, self-empowerment, design-based progress, and group visionary goals.  Using the design anthropology model of applied anthropology, the history and current situation is assessed, options and multiple disciplinary collaborations are brought together for discussion.  Once the reflective process of cultural complexities and intercultural relations is complete and agreed upon, deliberate prescriptive action is taken on behalf of the ethnic group for preservation, wellbeing, and adaptation to contemporary influences.

In-depth understanding and clarity, cognitive empathy from an internal, socially integrative approach must be achieved in the data collection.  Activist-based, informed, instrumental methods of change for problem-solving and progress are provided as options to secure a positive and desired future.  Co-creative interventions between myself as an anthropological facilitator, and the ethnic or tribal group that has retained my services, are then implemented to ensure the stabilization of community and ethnic values.  This entire process that brings solutions to complex issues takes no more than a week to a month, however consultant services are unending as systems must remain flexible, adaptable, and contemporary with newly arising situations or circumstances. 

Success is measured by the community’s felt quality of life, sustainability of necessary material resources, the functionality of organizational solutions to new culturally required and demanded contexts, as well as the enjoyment of social relations necessary for cultural survival and empowerment.  The happiness, satisfaction, and comfort of small tribal ethnic groups is something I take seriously and will devote my time and energy to ensure.  

All tribal services are free, in return for a relationship of inspirited value, my personal studies among the healers and seers, studies of world issues and resilience, knowledge gained, and stories that individuals desire to share publicly in the magazines Tribes of Thailand and Native Americans Today.  Also all tribes are invited to celebrate occasions of worldwide tribal alliances, and intercultural exchanges with other small ethnic groups in the form of jobs, resources, homestays, fieldwork, and other projects of applied design anthropology.
