William Ostrander is a resident of San Luis Obispo where he sustainably farms, serves as the Director of a nonprofit, and develops real estate. He has been leading the discourse concerning the influence big money holds over American politics for the last four years. Through his work with Citizens Congress, he has developed a thorough understanding of the drivers of the American political landscape. He seeks to improve the system to better reflect the lives of ALL citizens, not just the privileged few. Bill's experience in lobbying Congress, wildlife conservation, sustainable agriculture, education and mentorship, and many years of dedication to community service are qualities that he brings to the race as a Democrat for the 24th Congressional District.

Co-director of the Regenerative Design Institute will be coming to SLO for an intro into his upcoming Ecology of Leadership Program. Like the natural systems and patterns that guide permaculture, James' work now is focused on helping others to lead from the inside out and source their lives from deep nature connection. He believes that creating a loving, peaceful inner world provides the soil for the seeds of our visions to grow in the outer world.
From the Regenerative Design Institute Website (http://www.regenerativedesign.org/programs/ecology-leadership#.VytajPkrLIU)
Since 2006, Ecology of Leadership (EOL) programs have served hundreds of non-profit leaders, community activists, eco-social entrepreneurs, and other conscious change-makers in deepening their paths of service by manifesting their gifts, visions, and passions in their lives, their organizations, their communities, and the world.
Through experiential, nature and community-based leadership development practices, the Ecology of Leadership program blends inquiry and skill development, self-awareness, and deepened nature connection with principles of systems thinking and permaculture. With the support of a powerful and dynamic circle, you will explore leadership from the inside out, envisioning and stepping into the possibilities you hold for your life and your service path.
Come out and meet our respected elder in this time of the "Great Turning"!
