Awakening the Dreamer, Changing the Dream Symposium

Saturday, April 25, 5:30 - 9:30 PM

Cabrillo Aptos, Horticulture Community Bldg

Come together with conscious, aware people who care about what’s happening in the world, our community and with our families. We’ll look at our biggest challenges and opportunities today:

• The state of our industrial world and the thinking that got us where we are today
• A new dream—new ideas about what really matters— leading to deep connection and surprising solutions
• How you can be part of what’s emerging—because you already are!

Watch the 4 minute trailer to get an idea of what's in store for us as we explore our future on this planet with a group of caring students, faculty, and community members.
