Join us for a unique three-day Bioneers Conference in the Northwest!
ABOUT BIONEERS
The Whidbey Island Bioneers Conference—a Bioneers Resilient Communities Event—takes place November 7th to 9th on Whidbey Island, one hour north of Seattle. Our fifth annual conference is shaping up to be an incredible experience!
Bioneers is founded upon one essential truth: “Life creates the conditions for life”. As artists, activists, innovators, and entrepreneurs, we work across many lines of difference to catalyze and cultivate revolution from the heart of nature.
The bioneers are engaged citizens from all backgrounds and fields who focus on solving our world’s most urgent problems within a framework of interdependence: It’s all connected. Just as the web of life is intricately interconnected, so too are all environmental and social issues. We take a “solve-the-whole-problem” approach that is holistic, systemic and multidisciplinary.
FEATURED SPEAKERS
This year’s speakers include Bioneers Founder and CEO, Kenny Ausubel; Native poet and activist, Lyla June Johnston; Seattle hip hop artist, Prometheus Brown; and the former Mayor of Seattle, Mike McGinn – just to name a few.
