    25th ANNIVERSARY BIONEERS SUMMIT CONFERENCE OCTOBER 17TH – 19TH, 2014 San Rafael, California Growing The Movement The World We Want & How to Get There “The Bioneers community has had a significant impact on my work, introduc- ing me to the visionary work of people like Joel Salatin and Paul Stamets. Every time I go, I learn something and invariably find a few gems.” – Michael Pollan, author Omnivore’s Dilemma Growing The Movement The World We Want & How to Get There 25TH ANNIVERSARY BIONEERS SUMMIT CONFERENCE Yes, 2014 marks our 25th Bioneers Conference birthday! We honor all of you who’ve shared and contributed to this amazing journey. We’re conjuring some special magic to celebrate this milestone with you at the 2014 Summit and throughout the year. After a quarter-century, the Bioneers community of leadership has learned a thing or two about breakthrough solutions and what directions to head in. Like a magnifying glass channeling sun- light, the “Growing The Movement” theme is designed to help focalize this wealth of commu- nity wisdom, skillfulness and vision into beams of action – a trellis of light on which our shared work can grow. The years between now and 2020 will be the most important in the history of human civilization. Climate change has crash-landed from the future into the present. The ecological debt we’ve incurred is dire. The hyper-concentration of wealth has captured our political systems, impov- erishing humanity, the environment and democracy. The bottom line is we’re living beyond our means, and the collection agency is at the door.

    UPRISING BIONEERS OCTOBER 20-22, 2017 MARIN CENTER • SAN RAFAEL, CA “The Bioneers community has had a significant impact on my work. Every time I go, I learn something and invariably find a few gems.” – MICHAEL POLLAN, AUTHOR, THE OMNIVORE’S DILEMMA BIONEERS 2017 – UPRISING The world is in upheaval. This is what the birth of a new civilization looks like. Everything is at stake, everything is up for grabs, and we’re surfing the re-imagination of everything. It’s a step change in human evolution. The bigger the light, the longer the shadow. If you want to ride a beam of light with the greatest change-makers, innovators and visionaries of our time, we’ll see you at Bioneers 2017 for a celebration of nature’s genius and human ingenuity. You’ll get an eagle-eye view of the vital, restored world that’s not only possible – it’s arising everywhere. We’re in a movement moment and this diverse movement is far bigger than most people yet realize. Perhaps it took a breakdown this extreme to mobilize enough people to rise up and change the system. Bioneers shows how. As a community of leadership, we’re a thriving network of networks, a hub of diverse solutionaries, communities and movements already changing the world. Bioneers 2017 will be an electrifying kaleidoscope of breakthrough models, strategies and solutions inspired by nature: climate action; ending extreme inequality and creating democracy; racial and gender equity and healing; women’s leadership; restoring land, water, air, biodiversity; and exploring how nature’s profound intelligence can guide us.
