Since 1993, Selena has continued her ecofeminist interfaith speaking and networking through the Parliament of the World's Religions and other organizations in North American, Europe, Africa, and the Caribbean.

In 1995, Selena graduated with a M.S. in Counseling from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and began presenting talks on her thesis, When Goddess is God, including at the American Academy of Religion annual meeting that year.
