\\"\\"

Co-sponsored by the Pachamama Alliance and Transition Sebastopol

"\;This has given me the purpose and drive to change my life. Everyone working for or wanting a better world must see this."\;

Creating a bold new future.

The Awakening the Dreamer\, Changing the Dream Symposium is a profound inquiry into a bold vision\: To bring forth an environmentally sustainable\, spiritually fulfilling and socially just human presence on Earth.

You will gain fresh insight about our world\, meet like-minded people\, find hope and inspiration and leave with clarity how you can help create a new future. If you are ready to explore what this vision means for you\, we invite you to attend.

Through dynamic group interactions\, leading edge information\, and inspiring multimedia\, participants of this half-day event are inspired to reconnect with their deep concern for our world\, and are empowered to make a difference.

Designed with the collaboration of some of the finest scientific\, indigenous and activist minds in the world\, the Symposium explores the current state of our planet from a new perspective\, and connects participants with a powerful global movement to reclaim our future.

It is an exploration of four questions\:

Where Are We? - an examination of the state of environmental\, social and personal well-being
 How Did We Get Here? - tracing the root causes that lead to our current imbalance
 What's Possible for the Future? - discovering new ways of relating with each other\, with the Earth and looking at the emerging Movement for change
 Where Do We Go from Here? - considering the stand we want to be in the world and our personal and collective impact

If you are ready to be disturbed\, inspired and moved to action\, and to be introduced to a thriving community of committed cohorts\, then join us in exploring the most critical concerns of our times\, and discover new opportunities to make a real difference in accelerating the emergence of an environmentally sustainable\, spiritually fulfilling\, and socially just human presence on this planet!

The New Dream
The Old Dream is dying. Its demise becomes inevitable as we discover the devastation we&rsquo\;ve caused to our own planet home\, as we count the rising cost of our inhumanity to each other and as we see how our current way of living fails to deliver lasting happiness. All of these are the inevitable conclusions of an old dream rooted in acquisition\, consumption and putting personal gain above communal good.

The New Dream is emerging! It's community\, collaboration\; it's life-enhancing and earth-honoring\; it's together and for our grand-children\, rather than Supersize me Now! So we&rsquo\;re seeing the largest social movement of all time\, millions of people and organizations working forenvironmental sustainability\, social justice and spiritual fulfillment\, three facets of a new dream for humanity and planet Earth.

The Age of Stupid Synopsis
&lsquo\;The Age Of Stupid&rsquo\; is the new documentary-drama-animation hybrid from Director Franny Armstrong (McLibel\, Drowned Out) and Oscar-winning Producer John Battsek (One Day In September\, Live Forever\, In the Shadow of the Moon). Oscar-nominated Pete Postlethwaite (In The Name of the Father\, Brassed Off\, The Usual Suspects) stars as an old man living in the devastated world of 2055. He watches 'archive' footage from 2008 and asks\: Why didn't we stop climate change when we had the chance?
Runaway climate change has ravaged the planet by 2055. Pete plays the founder of The Global Archive\, a storage facility located in the (now melted) Arctic\, preserving all of humanity's achievements in the hope that the planet might one day be habitable again. Or that intelligent life may arrive and make use of all that we&rsquo\;ve achieved. He pulls together clips of &ldquo\;archive&rdquo\; news and documentary from 1950->\;2008 to build a message showing what went wrong and why. He focusses on six human stories\:
 \;
- Alvin Duvernay\, is a paleontogolist helping Shell find more oil off the coast of New Orleans. He also rescued more than 100 people after Hurricane Katrina\, which\, by 2055\, is well known as one of the first &ldquo\;major climate change events&rdquo\;. - Jeh Wadia in Mumbai aims to start-up a new low-cost airline and gets a million Indians flying.
 \;
- Layefa Malemi lives in absolute poverty in a small village in Nigeria from which Shell extracts tens of millions of dollars worth of oil every week. She dreams of becoming a doctor\, but must fish in the oil-infested waters for four years to raise the funds. - Jamila Bayyoud\, aged 8\, is an Iraqi refugee living on the streets of Jordan after her home was destroyed - and father killed - during the US-led invasion of 2003. She&rsquo\;s trying to help her elder brother make it across the border to safety. - Piers Guy is a windfarm developer from Cornwall fighting the NIMBYs of Middle England. - 82-year-old French mountain guide Fernand Pareau has witnessed his beloved Alpine glaciers melt by 150 metres.
