Join us as our Internationally known speakers discuss the best strategies to navigate our current climate challenge on the Earth, by addressing how to "Walk our Talk," take effective action while uniting that Action with our spirituality.

What is it going to take to survive our coming challenges? What can we do to support the Earth at this time? How can we work together to usher in the changes that we need to make; what changes do we need to personally embrace and stand up for to protect life on this planet?

Speakers Chief Rueben George, Dana O'Driscoll, Les Malbon and others will address these issues while encouraging us to embrace our challenges head on while working together.
