Dr. Bas has devoted her life to one question:

under what conditions do we flourish?

From food systems to social policy, child wellbeing, somatics, and leadership development, Japji's work and writing unearths the same truth again and again: what is imposed constrains, whereas chosen, embodied, hard-earned action that grows from internal motivation is, perhaps, the definition of flourishing.
