Ami was around Sydney Banks and what is now called the 3 Principles since she was 9, when her father, Roger Mills, became an early student of Sydney Banks. As she grew up, Ami followed her own path, became a journalist, and after going through a period of depression and searching for Truth, she re-discovered the teachings she heard as a child on Salt Spring Island. Ami is an author, speaker, teacher, and activist, with a deep grounding in the 3 Principles.
Ami Chen Mills-Naim talks with us about how she got into activism, particularly around politics and the climate crisis. She reminds us that spirituality and anger, and/or opposition, are not mutually exclusive, and protesting is often necessary to get the attention necessary for creating any kind of meaningful change. She shows us that we can show up, be human, and learn about - and fight against - grave injustices, without losing touch with our essential nature and oneness.Her grounding and humility have allowed her to learn about her own biases without taking them personally, while still committing to personal change and growth in these areas. She courageously holds conversations with others she disagrees with in order to impart this wisdom and to see if they can find common ground. Ami shows us that it's possible to hold more than one feeling and viewpoint at once (e.g. anger and love). She has joined many activist groups and enjoys bringing the spiritual side to the work she does on these issues. We admire her fortitude in joining these movements that are working tirelessly to push forth equality and human rights, as well as efforts to fight the climate crisis we face as residents of this planet.

Ami Chen Mills-Naim has been a long time teacher of the Three Principles psychology, and was a student of Sydney Banks, as well as being the daughter of one of the great pioneers of the Principles understanding, Dr. Roger C. Mills.Just before and after the 2016 election, she became politically active, after a nearly 20-year hiatus from nearly all forms of political activism (besides voting). This radio show addresses the following questions about the "intersection" of spirituality and politics:Is it enough to just teach "spiritually" and not be active in politics or social and environmental movements?How does one "do" activism without becoming burnt out and frustrated?What does "spiritual activism" mean?How does one know if one should be politically active?How does one know if one should STOP being politically active?How does an inside-out understanding impact the outside world?Should we even care about "impacting" the outside world?Ami has worked with children, youth, families and communities for more than 25 years. Through relationships with major foundations, Ami developed large-scale community resiliency projects involving schools, community agencies, parent groups and private partnership. Through her writing, teaching and project leadership, Ami has made a significant impact on spiritual consciousness, globally, and has been instrumental in producing literature and video programs on applications of the Principles with youth, families and in communities across the USA.

Kellogg Foundation--bringing the Principles of Mind, Consciousness and Thought to communities, groups and organizations in Charlotte, North Carolina, the Mississippi Delta, Des Moines, Iowa and the San Francisco Bay Area. In addition, Ami is an award-winning writer and journalist, who hosted her own radio show and podcast, “On the Front Porch with Ami Chen: Spiritual Dialogues for the 21st Century.”Ami’s current focus is on helping families, educators and children through sharing and expanding an understanding of the Principles, of innate wisdom and what she calls the “the living, breathing, formless Truth" ... both within, and separate from any movement or organization. Moreover, Ami shares the profound potential of our true nature, and the simple power of Love to help end needless suffering.
