Our humanity rests not
in what distinguishes us
from the rest of life,
but rather in what we share.

Robin Craig, LPC
Faculty
Robin Craig is OI Faculty and has studied with Founder Steve Hoskinson since 2006. She studied Neuroscience at the Vollum Institute for Advanced Biomedical Research in Portland, OR before moving to Arizona in 1996 where she became a Licensed Professional Counselor and reconnected with land and heart. Initially, this reconnection came during the time she spent on the Navajo reservation, for the first time experiencing how connection to place and community truly creates a foundation for the exploration of being a human on this planet.
The practice of meditation has changed how Robin views herself and others and allowed the changes she has experienced through OI to become trait changes, rather than passing state changes. Robin continues to study with teachers who emphasize the path to awakening that includes cultivating a joyful mind including Kittisaro, Leigh Brasington, Rev. angel Kyodo Williams, Thanissara, and Guy Armstrong. These teachers have opened the doors for the fullness of kindness and compassion in meditation, with clients, and in moment-to-moment living. Robin has found this to be the foundation from which true healing and awakening can arise.
Today, Robin is exploring how to restore physiological, spiritual, and psychological resiliency through the natural interweaving of Organic Intelligence® and meditation. Through her Meditation Teacher Training program and her time studying OI with Steve, Robin has been discovering the natural ways that OI’s understanding of going “beyond trauma” goes hand in hand with deep spiritual teachings and practice. Both teachings bring the understanding that joy is a part of the path to the deep spirituality and interconnection that is ours by nature.

Amie Summers, LGSW
Faculty
Amie Summers is Faculty at Organic Intelligence®. Among her firmly held beliefs is that we all possess an innate impulse for healing — within each of us we have exactly what we need to get there. The intention of the work she engages in with children and adolescents is to help them reconnect with this inner strength and knowing.
This belief, coupled with the teachings of Organic Intelligence, has meant bearing witness to awe-inspiring transformations in children and their families. Helpful tools along the way include lots of play, sensory awareness, dialogue and narrative-creation, and mindfulness.
Her two greatest teachers are her children, two boys under the age of five. They’ve taught her more about herself than she could ever hope to teach them — not to mention they’re experts in living playfully, with ease, and in the moment! Growing a personal practice of mindfulness meditation, one of Organic Intelligence’s guiding principles, has meant engaging with herself, other humans, and the world-at-large in a deeper and more meaningful way.
As a psychotherapist Amie has maintained a private practice since 2013 and specializes in working with children, teens, and young adults struggling with significant life events and transitions. She is a Licensed Graduate Social Worker in the state of Minnesota. Amie holds post-graduate certifications of Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner and OI Expert level in Organic Intelligence.
