As you enter into this exciting day of learning and sharing, can you feel your heart beat, and the earth beneath your feet? Can you sense life pulsing and coursing through you?
Are you letting its currents fuel and nourish you? Can you tell what’s enlivening, and what’s deadening, and how your life force is seeking to guide you? And can you feel the impact of what you say and do on the web of life around you?
This morning tune-up will offer an opportunity to start the day by connecting with ourselves, each other, and the larger intelligence of life, and carry that alignment into the rest of the day.
Highly recommended for anyone who tends to find the whirlwind and excitement of conferences over-stimulating or bodily exhausting. This will be an opportunity to fill up, digest, restore, and learn how to move through the rest of the day in greater partnership with life.

The Bioneers Moving Image Festival Presents a screening of ‘We Still Live Here (As Nutayuneân)‘.
Panelist: Shana Maziarz (Wild and Scenic Film Festival) and L. Frank Manriquez.
This award-winning documentary tells a story of cultural revival by the Wampanoag of Southeastern Massachusetts. In 1994 a Wampanoag social worker began having recurring dreams: familiar-looking people from another time addressing her in an incomprehensible language. This is because they were speaking Wampanoag, a language no one had used for more than a century. This discovery reaches members of the Aquinnah and Mashpee Wampanaog communities on an odyssey that would uncover hundreds of documents written in their language, which brought a language alive again in an American Indian community after many generations. (55 minutes)
