Why I’ll be there:
“Because humanity needs wise elders and we need each other now more than ever. Worldwide economic and political suffering calls us to tell our truth. We need to connect to, own, ground and occupy our own wildness from a place of fierce connection, compassion and conviction.”
– Nelson Oostenink, Talent, Oregon raising the bar.
