The Awakening The Dreamer Symposium - Being Present for the Future
We live in a time of great unease. Our consumption behaviors are impossible to sustain, no matter how much we would like that not to be true.

This Symposium is designed to make us look at the dream that we were all given from our culture that says we are entitled to a life full of unlimited material wealth. The symposium says it is time to create a new dream that supports a livable future.

What are we willing to do to ensure our children and grandchildren will have a full and joyful life?

Cost: $35/ $20 young adults and students, includes a lunch made with local and organic foods. (No one is refused admission because of inability to pay)
