Announcing the Fourth Annual There is a new superpower:
global
popular movements. Since 1990, the annual Bioneers conference in
California has
been the pre-eminent and largest gathering of leading social and
scientific
visionaries with practical solutions for restoring the Earth. These
biological
pioneers – or bioneers – represent a wide array of fields ranging from
botany
to industrial ecology, organic farming to integrative medicine,
activism to the
arts. “Although we face unprecedented environmental problems,” said
Bioneers
founder Kenny Ausubel, “Nature already holds many solutions and this
conference
spotlights the creative strategies that help us realize these solutions
by
restoring community, justice and democracy.” For the fourth time, Bioneers
is hosting
satellite conference sites to double the access to the speakers,
information,
and networking. Traverse City and Detroit, Michigan
each have the honor of being one of 17 selected sites! The
Great Lakes Bioneers Conference Traverse City is organized by the
Neahtawanta Center, SEEDS and local educators, and is hosted on the
campus of
Northwestern Michigan College on October
14-16. A live satellite downlink of the headlining speakers from
the
Bioneers Conference in San Rafael, CA will be part of this unique
regional
event. Workshops and other local events will focus on the people and
issues
integral to our own Great Lakes region, including music, food and
farming,
renewable energy, and water. Meet us at the cross roads of
ecology
and social justice! “No conference on Earth celebrates more fully the
possibilities of creating a world that is conducive to life,” said Paul
Hawken,
author of Natural Capitalism. “Bioneers is central to the
re-imagination of
what it means to be human.” CEU's for teachers available! For More Information see our
