Join us at the SEED Language of Spirit Conference
When: Sunday, August 15 - Tuesday, August 17, 2010
Where: Albuquerque, NM
What is this Conference about?
For the past 11 years, SEED has hosted a meeting of the minds between quantum physicists, Native American scholars, and linguists to discuss the underlying principles of the Universe, based on a mutual respect for their differences in worldviews. The format followed the late David Bohm’s work “On Dialogue,” and was brought to Albuquerque and SEED in 1999, by Dan Moonhawk Alford, an accomplished linguist. This open, public exchange continues to grow around the important issues of how the Universe operates and our roles and responsibilities as Human Beings within our Universe.

Join us at the Bioneers Conference
When: Friday October 15 through Sunday October 17, 2010
Where: Marin Center, San Rafael, CA
What is Bioneers?
Founder Kenny Ausubel coined the term Bioneers in 1990 to describe an emerging culture. Bioneers are social and scientific innovators from all walks of life and disciplines who have peered deep into the heart of living systems to understand how nature operates, and to mimic "nature's operating instructions" to serve human ends without harming the web of life. Nature's principles—kinship, cooperation, diversity, symbiosis and cycles of continuous creation absent of waste—can also serve as metaphoric guideposts for organizing an equitable, compassionate and democratic society.
The Bioneers Conference is a leading-edge forum where you can see tomorrow today: a future environment of hope. Social and scientific innovators focus on breakthrough solutions inspired by nature and human ingenuity. These visionaries are already creating the healthy, diverse, equitable and beautiful world we want to live in—our legacy for future generations and the web of life on which our lives depend. You can connect with hundreds or thousands of engaged folks making a real difference.
The 2009 Bioneers Conference featured plenary speeches from: Amazonian Chief Almir, Brock Dolman, Kari Fulton, Jack Hidary, Sarah James, Jensine Larsen, Joanna Macy, Mari Margil, Jason McClennan, Michael Pollan, Jerome Ringo, Arturo Sandoval, Dr. Andrew Weil, Lily Yeh and more!
We view the conference as a dose of optimism, where real world examples of people working to making improvements to our planet. You walk away from Bioneers with knowledge, inspiration and hope that we can change our ways.
