GREENERMIND SUMMIT

Come listen. Somewhere in nature, a voice is calling out to you.

It might be a tree, a river, a dragonfly, or a fox - a being whose home is threatened, whose fears go unheard. They're asking us each to play our part by protecting ONE being. Mother Nature is worried about all her creations, and she's asking us to join her in keeping them safe.

Through neurographic drawing and storytelling, we'll begin to listen to the nature surrounding us, the beings who are calling out to us to be their protector.

What rights do you have when an AI is talking to you? Most people don't know. This session explores what an AI Bill of Rights could look like—not as policy abstraction, but as something you might actually want to exist for yourself and the people you love.

I am a trained Ways of Council facilitator and hold circles to facilitate openings and sharings on eco-love, grief, stories, and everything in between.

This is not a place to plan or do, but just to be, share what is alive, embody and be with the oceans, and feel heard and seen in the underneath of what we are holding in the day to day.

Description text goes herePositive deviants are people who achieve remarkable outcomes within the same constraints everyone else faces. Their stories act as antidotes to the invisible ceilings most of us don't realize we've accepted. In the spirit of solarpunk, this session starts not from problems but from bright futures that already exist somewhere - then works backwards. 

Join Bobby to explore real stories from real people that stretch what feels possible and shift how you act from here.

• Encounter "antidotes" - lived examples matched to your own challenges.

• Shift your intuition about what's actually achievable.

• Leave with a new sense of what's possible - and your own role in it.

After 25+ years of partner dancing (swing, salsa, waltz, hustle...) I've learned that partnering in dance, like partnering in real life, is about communication and give and take.  Come try an experimental dance class where we focus on partnering, not steps.  No pre-set roles or partners allowed.  Everyone will lead AND follow.  And everyone will have fun!
