Hi everyone, I’m Maria Amelia! I became interested in Effective Altruism because I’ve always been drawn to using both reason and compassion to make a meaningful impact in the world.
I’m particularly focused on causes related to human development, education, and holistic well-being. And I enjoy exploring how personal growth and inner skills can enhance the effectiveness of our actions.
We are currently creating programs that focus on various Foundations of Protection.
Check out my Bio and let’s connect.
Outside of EA, I love traveling, always engaging in environmental studies and improving my knowledge on cultural history, and exploring creative expression as a tool for personal and collective transformation. I’m excited to connect with others here, learn from your experiences, and contribute where I can!
Hey Maria! In case you aren’t aware of them and their work, you might be interested in reaching out / following @Gidi Kadosh (VIVID), @spencerg (Spencer Greenberg of Clearer Thinking), @Inga (Inga Grossman of Rethink Wellbeing), and probably others I’m blanking out on 😊
Also, I’m curious about what you mean by “Foundations of Protection”?
Thank you so much for these recommendations! I really appreciate you pointing me toward people and projects so aligned with my interests. I’ll definitely look into connecting with them. 🙏
By “Foundations of Protection” I mean the essential inner and outer skills that allow us to make conscious, value-driven decisions that truly do good in the world. Within the Integration & Protection Program, this begins with metacognition, alignment with natural rhythms, and awareness of human needs, skills that strengthen clarity, resilience, and ethical reflection.
On the outer level, protection means cultivating safe communities, environments, and relationships, both within EA and beyond. This ensures that people can contribute meaningfully while feeling supported, connected, and grounded.
I believe that when building or expanding movements like Effective Altruism, it’s vital to invest in these foundations first. With strong roots in inner alignment and outer protection, everything else naturally unfolds, without losing sight of ethics, or overlooking the long-term cause and effect of our actions on future generations.
Hi Elliot, great to see you commenting on my posts 😊 Yes, I’m back, the Summit really motivated me to be more active in the Forum. I’m excited to see where we’re going too. Thank you!
