There are many efforts to build up various types of infrastructure in developing regions around the globe, and while these efforts are necessary, they too often overlook the vastly underserved populations in developed nations. Communications infrastructure in particular is critical to lifting people out of poverty as connectivity is increasingly necessary for education, socialization, employment, and citizenship. This talk explores how and why our communications infrastructure is serving so many people so poorly and how different communities around the world are adapting to get the connection they need.

Rich Bartlett and Nati Lombardo from the Loomio team in New Zealand are touring through the US meeting with activists and entrepreneurs across the country. They will be stopping in SF to host a session on collaborative culture and non-hierarchical organizing.

Indigenous people across the globe have used sacred plant medicines for millennia to heal, illuminate and connect them to the web of life. From ayahuasca and San Pedro in South America, psilocybin mushrooms and Salvia Divinorum in Mexico, Peyote in North America, Kambo in Brazil, Iboga in Africa, and DMT-acacias in Australia, etc., each of these psychoactive medicines needs a healer to connect ...

Year after year the climate changes – not suddenly but achingly slowly. Despite the sloth of this catastrophe-train, we feel and talk as if it’s already too late. Why should that be? It’s because changing our energy infrastructure to be climate-smart takes decades. Can we change that pace and avert disaster?

Do you pound some clay or some dough? Do you round up friends for a game of tag or see how fast you go? It’s great to be able to stop when you’ve ...

How do people choose which views to follow? Why is America so evenly divided into two parties, and why can't we all seem to agree?

This is a dialogue for people to understand each others' perspectives and for everyone to be able to express what matters to them and why these issues matter to them. We will split into tables of 4-6 people and you'll have the chance to meet lots of new people, briefly discussing your experiences around important issues like immigration, healthcare and economy.
