Live from Bioneers

Ya know, I really don't have it in me to write anything articulate right now. But I'm down in Marin County at the Bioneers Conference, which must be one of the most incredible and inspirational events on the PLANET these days, and I had to write something.

I'll attempt to do a better report-out tomorrow, but for now, I'll just say... what a day. From breakfast with the force that is Vicki Robin, to the round of plenaries that left me in tears, to the conversations I had with friends old and new, it was an amazing day. It was also about 30 degrees here (the hot 30 degrees, the centigrade kind) and gorgeous and boy so I ever love California.

I feel very lucky to be here. I wish that everyone I knew was here too - or at least able to listen to the plenary speakers in some form. Seriously, the world needs to hear these messages and feel this spirit. And that's all I got.

Sounds awesome!

Can't wait to hear more... and totally wish I was there. 30 degrees and sunny sounds like a drastic improvement over the 9 and rainy. :P

A beautiful weekend in Vancouver too girlie. Sun is shining bright and warm. Soak that heat into your bones and bring back soma that bioneers love.

A hodge-podge of random thoughts, musings, and links – sometimes about social change, sometimes about technology and the web, sometimes about yoga, and occasionally about knitting. Sometimes (because I'm a Canadian girl with deep roots in the British Isles) I even write about the weather.

I'm a yoga teacher, founder of Yoga for Geeks, and a freelance web writer, strategist, and project manager. I also help to co-create the amazing Web of Change Conference, every September in beautiful British Columbia.
