Awakening the Dreamer, Changing the Dream Symposium

Contribute to the creation of a global movement of awake people who are both informed and optimistic about creating a new possibility for our future. Help bring forth an environmentally sustainable, spiritually fulfilling, and socially just human presence on the Earth.

This multi-media workshop is a visually rich and inspiring response to the global crises we face. An interactive process helps us confront today's sobering realities and empowers us to participate in the global shift in consciousness that is underway. International leaders in social change such as Desmond TutuJulia Butterfly Hill andPaul Hawken reveal the nature of our predicament, and offer an enlivening vision of our emerging future. The Symposium also includes lively breakout groups and practical tools.

"I was not expecting the effect this symposium had on me. I expected to be engaged and interested, but today I feel as if my life is on a different course than it was on Saturday. This has affected me profoundly." - J.S. Concord CA

"The ATD Symposium is, in my humble opinion, one of the most powerful activism tools I've ever experienced. It wakes up those not already in 'blessed unrest' and turns them into activists. And it empowers those already active by presenting an awesome vision of the great transformation of consciousness happening on Earth at this time."
