MEET

(Meditation, Education and Ecology for Transformation)

We find large, especially online, conferences, frustrating. There is

always too much information to digest, too many interesting people to

get to know, too much broadcasting and not enough connecting. So we end

up doing our own work, reaching out, networking, setting up

post-conference events with the handful of people that we connect with.

What if we had a conference that focused on quality, not quantity, of

both information and connection? What if we spent four days together,

camping in a beautiful setting with like-minded, like-hearted

educators who share an interest in transforming themselves and the

world through meditation, education and ecology?

We are planning an in-person gathering for the first week of October

in North Carolina: MEET (Meditation, Education and Ecology for Transformation).

We are calling the gathering a micro-un-conference, and plan to include

elements of a conference (hearing from elders/experienced

practitioners), meditation retreat (morning and evening sits) and

un-conference (Open Space Technology). At the core of the gathering is

building relationships and enabling connections between individuals

and organizations that are working to transform our systems. We hope

to bring together 6 – 24 people for this gathering.

The dates of the gathering will be Oct. 1 – Oct. 4 and then we are

inviting folks to stick around after if they want, until the 6th, for

a couple fully unscheduled days of connection.

Questions or comments? Please reach out to Mihai or Dan and/or join us on a Monday Zoom Call.
