I couldn't cast a vote in that first post either but would vote for Starhawk because of her work with social
permaculture and moving the design process so thoroughly into our personal relationship and community activism.
That said, if you needed $18,500 for the deck you have designed, and now have at least $40,000, my suggestion would be to create a second deck with more of the principles and more of historical and contemporary teachers/practitioners/innovators. You have at least half the deck suggested already. It could be a great way to feature permies from around the world so people can know who in their areas to reach out to for guidance.
