Speaking About Rosie Contact

Hi, I’m Rosie.

................

The ministry of my heart is mass human flourishing.

I've worked at the intersection of Wall Street finance, public policy, and Burning Man (true story!). I'm passionate about flourishing as the purpose of human activity.

Prior to focusing on flourishing, I served as a board member of the Bay Area Council and New America Alliance, a national organization advocating for diverse investment fund managers at the state and federal levels. 

Daily Morning Practices: I meditate every morning, for nearly 10 years now; I write a Thank You card every morning; I practice The Miracle Morning®. In 2022, I cut out sweeteners for a year... t'was glorious.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A Word on Money:

It is in fact possible to make flourishing the purpose of your life. Some people live for material things. Money, however, is merely a technology for flourishing -- it exists to create human flourishing. Every human would benefit from having a kind relationship with the technology of money, and with themself for that matter.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Audio Creations:

In 2022 I co-hosted 100 Days of Human Flourishing on Clubhouse.

I started What Comes Now, a show about books and leadership, covering all things that bring people together or pull us apart. Available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and all major podcast platforms. 

I'm currently (2023) working on a theater show (FELLOW HUMAN: a play on mass human flourishing), for Off-Broadway production in early 2025. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I wrote a framework about stakeholder engagement. People around the world have taken interest in it and it's been a blessing to share it in many countries. 

The von Lila Framework is the powerful catalyst to foster engagement and participation toward liberty and flourishing for all. 

The Framework was written through research spanning the globe, and my 22 years of generating participatory culture, working with Burning Man, and studying what goes into making highly engaged creative cultures.

 

“Simple. Elegant. Powerful. The von Lila Framework starts with the right questions.”
