Bioneers Conference in the Northwest
Join us for a unique 3-day Bioneers Conference in the Northwest! The Whidbey Island Bioneers Conference – a Bioneers Resilient Communities Event – takes place November 7th-9th on Whidbey Island, one hour north of Seattle.
The bioneers are engaged citizens from all backgrounds and fields who focus on solving our world’s most urgent problems within a framework of interdependence: It’s all connected. Just as the web of life is intricately interconnected, so too are all environmental and social issues. We take a “solve-the-whole-problem” approach that is holistic, systemic and multidisciplinary.
This year’s speakers include: Bioneers Founder and CEO, Kenny Ausubel; Native poet and activist, Lyla June Johnston; Seattle hip hop artist, Prometheus Brown; and the former Mayor of Seattle, Mike McGinn – just to name a few.
Join us for 3 days of inspiring workshops, plenaries, and community activities all at the beautiful Whidbey Institute in the middle of 100 acres of pristine forests.
This conference is family-friendly, featuring a kids program, youth discount, and need-based scholarships for young and low-income leaders. Learn more and register here: https://www.regonline.com/wi_bioneers_2014.
Join us is Seattle on Monday, October 27th for a FREE introductory event at Impact Hub Seattle. Also, consider joining us for dinner and a Special Evening with Kenny just prior to the conference on Thursday, November 6th at the Whidbey Institute. Both events support our Rising Leaders Scholarship Fund for emerging leaders.
And stick around on Sunday afternoon, November 9th, for a special panel discussion: “Living the New Story: A New Cosmology, Community, and Commitment” – honoring Thomas Berry’s 100th Birthday.
