National Bioneer Conference
August 19-21, 2012
San Rafael,
California
Bioneers are social and scientific innovators from all walks
of life and disciplines who have peered deep into the heart of living systems
to understand how nature operates, and to mimic "nature's operating
instructions" to serve human ends without harming the web of life.
Nature's principles—kinship, cooperation, diversity, symbiosis and cycles of
continuous creation absent of waste—can also serve as metaphoric guideposts for
organizing an equitable, compassionate and democratic society.
