Learning begins with attention; what gets noticed can be responded to; compassionate response is at the root of responsibility. Rowland's work in teaching, instructional and program design, advising/mentoring, and administration seeks to bridge the distance and deepen the relationship between people and place. 

Our words can change the world. Beyond creating his own radical (”to the root”) and transformational writing and art, he seeks to inspire and encourage other’s personal discovery, interpersonal insight, and planetary service through teaching and mentoring; editing; conference/event planning; and facilitation of creative communities.
