The Awakening the Dreamer, Changing the Dream Symposium is led by a team of co-facilitators who are volunteers, moved by their own experience of the Symposium to share this material with audiences in their own communities. Events are lead by ordinary folks for whom spreading this message of hope and inspiration answers their own call to live lives of meaning and contribution in these challenging times. Here at the Chicago Green Festival the team is lead by June Holte, a remarkable example of this. Since coming to her first Symposium, in August of 2007, June has committed her life to bringing this message to 10,000+ individuals in 20 states in the Heartland and the South.
She has already co-facilitated 20 events in seven states since
December. Her commitment and ambition for sharing this work are matched
by her enthusiasm and love for all of the people she is meeting along
the way. June was the leader of the Kansas City Sustainable Lifestyle
Campaign (a.k.a. "EcoTeams") from 1997-2001, and she is currently
completing a self-directed master's degree in Sustainable Living and
Social Transformation. She has been inspiring and supporting people in
living life more sustainably for over 20 years. She will be joined in
presenting to the Green Festival by several other equally remarkable
humans.
Awakening the Dreamer, Changing the Dream Symposium
Imagine a powerful, inspiring, truly breathtaking, multimedia experience that deepens and broadens all that you have learned at the Green Festival, helping you to synthesize your learning, see entirely new possibilities for our Green future, and new opportunities for you to bring your gifts and talents to bear on birthing this future. Now, imagine that this extraordinary event can serve not only to deepen and broaden your own understanding and ability to honour your own intentions on behalf of this future, but that you could use it as a unique tool to immediately bring to your communities all that you have learned at the Green Festival and more.

Welcome to the Awakening the Dreamer, Changing the Dream Symposium! The 12,000 people in 12 countries who have already experienced it, are calling it "inspiring…deeply moving…a compelling wake-up call…timely, heart-centered and urgent… transformative… magnificent." In the words of Paul Hawken: "The Symposium has done much to ferment Blessed Unrest. It is a powerful contributor to the worldwide movement for social change." This truly breathtaking experience will awaken, stir and transform you, connecting the dots between social justice, environmental sustainability, and spiritual/human fulfilment like nothing has ever done—anywhere. It makes visible and tangible the interconnectedness of all of life, and awakens latent human potential that is yearning to bring into existence the future we came to the Green Festival to learn about. You will leave full of hope and inspired. And this Symposium is available to you use as a versatile, powerful tool to awaken the communities in which you live and love. We invite you to sample this incredible Symposium here at the Green Festival and consider joining us in awakening the Heartland of the USA (and beyond!) by bringing it to your communities. Our goal is to train thousands to share this with MILLIONS, in order to create a global conversation powerful enough to actually bring forth an environmentally sustainable, spiritually fulfilling and socially just human presence on Earth.
