Awakening the Dreamer symposium

Today I attended a symposium on environmental sustainability, social justice, and spiritual fulfillment organized by volunteers from the Pachamama Alliance. Called the Awaken the dreamer, change the dream symposium, members and individuals from various walks of life in and around Calgary joined in at the new thought United Church. It was really nice to network with other vegetarians, some vegans, as well as educators on sustainability or spiritual guidance. The symposium asks the question, where are we? and follows by addressing more questions like how did we get here, what is possible for our future, and finally, where do we go from here? It was an arrangement of expressing ones feelings and connection with the world, and fostering a sensation of community and oneness. I was pleased to see an array of videos from various different sources being used in the production. I feel this group, initiated in Calgary by the Humanity Unites Brilliance, was able to help bring up a conciousness to an otherwise apathetic populace. 40 people doesnt represent Calgary, but it does show there is alternative movements breaking into shape all over the city.

Keep an eye out for their next event in your city.
