Creating a bold new future.

The Awakening the Dreamer, Changing the Dream Symposium is a profound inquiry into a bold vision: To bring forth an environmentally sustainable, spiritually fulfilling and socially just human presence on Earth.

You will gain fresh insight about our world, meet like-minded people, find hope and inspiration and leave with clarity how you can help create a new future. If you are ready to explore what this vision means for you, we invite you to attend.

Through dynamic group interactions, leading edge information, and inspiring multimedia, participants of this half-day event are inspired to reconnect with their deep concern for our world, and are empowered to make a difference.

Designed with the collaboration of some of the finest scientific, indigenous and activist minds in the world, the Symposium explores the current state of our planet from a new perspective, and connects participants with a powerful global movement to reclaim our future.

It is an exploration of four questions:

Where Are We? - an examination of the state of environmental, social and personal well-being
How Did We Get Here? - tracing the root causes that lead to our current imbalance
What's Possible for the Future? - discovering new ways of relating with each other, with the Earth and looking at the emerging Movement for change
Where Do We Go from Here? - considering the stand we want to be in the world and our personal and collective impact

If you are ready to be disturbed, inspired and moved to action, and to be introduced to a thriving community of committed cohorts, then join us in exploring the most critical concerns of our times, and discover new opportunities to make a real difference in accelerating the emergence of an environmentally sustainable, spiritually fulfilling, and socially just human presence on this planet!

The New Dream
The Old Dream is dying. Its demise becomes inevitable as we discover the devastation we’ve caused to our own planet home, as we count the rising cost of our inhumanity to each other and as we see how our current way of living fails to deliver lasting happiness. All of these are the inevitable conclusions of an old dream rooted in acquisition, consumption and putting personal gain above communal good.

The New Dream is emerging! It's community, collaboration; it's life-enhancing and earth-honoring; it's together and for our grand-children, rather than Supersize me Now! So we’re seeing the largest social movement of all time, millions of people and organizations working forenvironmental sustainability, social justice and spiritual fulfillment, three facets of a new dream for humanity and planet Earth.

Come join us at our next Transition Sebastopol Movie Night at the French Garden Restaurant. Come early and enjoy dinner and conversation.
