A Time for Commitment...

For a week in September, a massive convergence of activists, politicians and cultural leaders will gather in San Francisco for the Global Climate Action Summit. We are straddling a crucial tipping point on humanity’s journey with Climate Change, and the time is now for anyone with a vested interest in our future to come together and make a firm, specific commitment to helping reverse our current trajectory.

The Village Well Symposium, a parallel event to GCAS, is hosting a platform for a diverse array of deeply committed people to come together and dig into the true nature of the issues at hands, and the solutions that offer real hope in these intense times. This unique forum will build bridges between leaders of the indigenous & frontline communities, leaders from the science and technology communities, art & festival culture, and impact investment groups.


You are invited to be a part of the solution

Date & Time
September 13-14, 2018 PDT

You are born of the earth and all that you have comes from the earth, every day of your life, every breath that you take. Now is the time to give back daily, in order to ensure this circle of life can continue.

Our intention is for every person who attends this event to walk away with concrete, implementable action steps that are in alignment with clear long-term goals for contributing to the reverse of climate change.

We invite you, our extended community across the globe, to participate in this historic event and live webcast, where we will collectively commit to the action steps each one of us can take at this time.
