If there's anything all of us want these days, it's to change the world...and every way we turn, new prescriptions are being offered as one global system after another enters a danger zone. Ongoing and never-ending environmental crises demand immediate attention... ongoing and never-ending socila abuses demand immediate action...and in the midst of all the crushing, immediate demands, who's looking to change the long-term patterns that underly the devolution?
On Oct. 19-21, at the Maryland Institute of Art’s Brown Center in Baltimore, MD, a gathering of brilliant scientific minds and social innovators will focus on practical and visionary solutions for restoring the Earth’s ecosystems and healing communities.
As a newly-launched satellite of the globalocal Bioneers Conference - now in its 18th year - the Baltimore Bioneers event will combine a simultaneous broadcast of the California-based parent conference's plenary talks with regional speakers, panels and workshops.
The audience for the Baltimore conference is unusual in that it brings together local visionary leaders representing business and the arts, as well as the environmental and social justice movements. The conference’s goal is to encourage cross–discipline dialogue and offer opportunities to create new solutions.
National plenary speakers include Van Jones, Majora Carter and Winona Laduke. Local
programming features plenaries, workshops, live performances and a Woodberry
Kitchen dinner.
Local topics include “The Power of Dialogue,” “Business with Conscience,” “Demystifying your Carbon Footprint” and “Art and Social Change.”
“Baltimore Bioneers will bring together people from many different disciplines –science,
business, and social service organizations to name just a few– all working to change the
region and the world. At this conference, we will witness how the power of collaboration
across all disciplines can solve problems that some think are unchangeable,” states Ted
Rouse, a Bioneer committee member.
Tickets start at $65 for one day and are $195 for all three days. Please register by
September 21 for an early bird discount. Go to www.cultivatingchange.org for more
