National Bioneers Conference - October 20-22, 2017

All of us, of all ages, are being called upon to wake up as one to urgently come together on behalf of what we believe in. Join us for a series of participant-driven conversations about how we can collaborate to shape the future by synergizing the unique gifts of all generations. The Café provides a hospitable space to integrate and reflect upon what is emerging at the conference and to build partnerships of personal and professional value. Let's create tomorrow, together! With: David Shaw, Santa Cruz Permaculture &  UCSC Common Ground Center; Amy Lenzo, weDialogue & The World Café Community Foundation; and students from the Helios and Manzanita Schools.`

The media is under attack, with assaults on journalists and net neutrality, “gaslighting,” alternative facts, fake news, surveillance, monopolization, corruption, etc. Inspired by today’s sessions on democracy and journalism, this highly interactive session provides an intergenerational space for conversation and action planning. How might we take wise collective action to protect and advance our constitutional rights to free speech and free information? With: Denis Moynihan, Democracy Now! co-founder; David Shaw, Santa Cruz Permaculture & UCSC Common Ground Center; Amy Lenzo, weDialogue & The World Café Community Foundation.
