The latest from Bioneers

Declarations of Interdependence: A Story of Storytelling

Since time immemorial, storytellers have held an exalted role in human societies, because stories illustrate parables that help us make sense of the world and survive. In this episode, we hitch a ride with comedian, writer, futurist, technologist, and storyteller Baratunde Thurston. At this perilous existential threshold that will determine the fate of the human experiment, he knows that the story of the battle is equally the battle of the story.

You'll grow, learn about yourself and others, and gain deeper appreciation for relationships with more-than-human beings.

If you want to begin cultivating your own healing practice in partnership with Earth Mother, in a supportive environment with loving teachers that provide psychological safety and community connection, this is for you.

I've learned invaluable lessons about capabilities, self-confidence, sisterhood, and interbeing.

I think you've got a great thing going (service for many) I appreciate it!

2023 Participant
It is a special and supportive space to explore and understand how we are operating with colonized ways of thinking and acting when it comes to giving. And then it offers space to begin to untangle from this, and intentionally act in a more liberated way.
2025 Participant
I found that the course was well presented and engaging. Penny really knows her "stuff"! She engaged us all and I wanted to go even deeper. If she offers another course, I'd love to be onboard. Thanks Bioneers!
