Crafting a Vision to Change the World

"Changing the World"... they're the words on everyone's lips today...and heaven knows change is needed.

Ongoing environmental crises demand immediate attention… ongoing social injustices demand immediate action…and in the midst of all the crushing, immediate demands, who is stepping back to craft positive and creative visions of change?

On Oct. 19-21, 2007, at the Maryland Institute of Art's Brown Center in Baltimore, MD, a gathering of brilliant scientists, healers, and social innovators focused on practical and visionary solutions for restoring the Earth's ecosystems and healing communities.

As a newly-launched satellite of the globalocal Bioneers Conference - now in its 18th year - the Baltimore Bioneers event combined a simultaneous broadcast of the California-based parent conference's plenary talks with regional speakers, panels and workshops.

The Baltimore conference brought together local visionary leaders representing business and the arts, as well as the environmental and social justice movements. The conference encouraged cross–discipline dialogue and offered opportunities to create new solutions.

"Baltimore Bioneers will bring together people from many different disciplines –science, business, and social service organizations to name just a few– all working to change the region and the world," stated Ted Rouse, a Bioneer committee member.

What's next? In addition to planning the next conference, the Bioneers will be hosting additional events, which will be noted on their website, http://www.cultivatingchange.org.

This social networking page is designed as a gathering point for articles, blogs, videos, and other communications that will promote the mission of the Bioneers within the larger community.
