Imagine alternate futures: Home, wellbeing, and collaboration
Let’s explore our universal need for home and belonging alongside visions for wellbeing for all life. Consider what it might look like to collaborate with each other or with nature? What can we create?
Reflections with Carol Sanford
For Climate Con 2021, Carol Sanford shared a series of reflections about regenerative roles and how to try them on in your day-to-day life. These roles explore include parent, designer, earth tender, citizen, entrepreneur, economic shaper, educator, media content creator, and spirit resource.
The stories holding us back
Cultural barriers are built by our stories—which means that what we tell ourselves and each other can either limit or expand the possibilities. This session will explore how stories drive culture, and then how culture shapes our behavior and what we consider “normal.” We’ll explore how myths and norms have changed before, and question which ones might be holding us back now.
Disrupting culture through media
What are cultural undercurrents and how can we use them to move toward a better future? This session will deep dive into the role and influence of media and entertainment and how we might unlock alternate pathways.
From sustaining to thriving
Let's shake up how we think about our role in shaping change and the potential world we can create. For starters, there's sustainability—and then there’s regeneration. Discover the difference from one of the field’s thought leaders. Then, explore how playing your role starts by looking within to reconsider how we can be, not what we can do.
Reimagine our future, starting with design
Nature is regenerative, and designers who mimic it can teach us a lot about how it works. Meet biomimicry practitioners who see nature as a muse, teacher, and the best creative partner.
The art and science of transformation
Whether you’re working on change within yourself or trying to inspire others, it’s easy to get stuck and lost in the process. Change is hard, man. Explore what prevents us from changing, and how we can shake off that inertia and break patterns to move forward, together. We’ll learn how (and how not) to ignite lasting change—not just in yourself, but in those around you, from your closest friends to your broader community
Reimagine our future, starting with schools
The education system is complicated, and often the target of eye rolls and frustration. But there are climate opportunities for parents, kids, and teachers. Learn why education is a critical solution to preparing the soil for change. Explore what it might look like to educate and empower the next generation inside and outside the classroom.
A recipe for less waste and greater health
We all eat. Let’s understand what’s behind each bite so we can make each one count. We’ll explore what food has to do with climate change, the role and power of local food systems, and meet people planting the seeds of greater health and wealth.
How to make choices in a broken system
There are bigger systems at play in today’s society, which means the weight of change does not rest solely on your shoulders. It can still feel pretty damn heavy, though. Explore ways to think about your choices in a world designed for waste.
Innovating in unexpected places
Fresh takes on old problems are at the core of finding paths toward a cleaner, healthier future. Meet entrepreneurs stepping up to bring forward innovative technology in stagnant and even unexpected spaces.
Building healthier communities
Local things are the best things. The same strategy applies to climate action. Let's see what it looks like to build resilient and healthy places to live.
Putting your money to work
Money still talks. Let’s explore how we can put our money where our hearts are, and make every dollar count.
Embrace your influence
There is already a powerful role you can play today as a citizen, friend, and neighbor. And that’s just the start. This workshop will dig into the power of relational organizing (read: how to get other people involved), and help you start to develop your personal journey. We’ll explore not just what we can do, but how and why we should do it.
Why we’re better together
The climate crisis is fundamentally a crisis of connection. Let’s see how we can embrace our unique influences, contribute to the group, and organize in a way that moves us forward. We’ll explore why it’s so impactful to meet IRL, talk about our differences and shared dreams, and plot a future together.
Every job is a climate job
We can all leverage our current roles as employees or small business owners to contribute to solutions. Explore what that looks like in action and how others have embraced their influence as employees or small business owners.
Finding opportunities across generations
There are huge opportunities to collaborate with elders, youngers, and all ages in between. Let’s dig into how exactly we can initiate and participate in these kinds of relationships.
What we can do today to build a better future
Let’s hear about solutions already in motion and projects we can bring to our neighborhoods right now. Dive into clean energy, community, solar, jobs, and powerful reasons why now is the time to electrify our lives.
Reclaim your personal agency in a crisis
Navigating the climate crisis is mentally exhausting, and can be emotionally draining to the point of paralysis. But there’s a better way. Let’s discuss how to navigate the very real challenges of this crisis, and regain personal agency.
