This collaboration explores our plante’s biggest challenges and opportunities from a new perspective and connects the participants with a powerful global movement to reclaim the planet’s future. This symposium is meant to shake up, inspire and move participants to action in accelerating an environmentally sustainable, spiritually fulfilling, and socially just human presence on this planet.
