Book banning and challenges are back. This year alone, book banning is up twenty percent from 2022, which saw the highest number of book challenges in this past twenty years. Together we'll make connections in our discussion between book bans and extractive economies, how both reduce the diversity in the environments we live in and the environment of our minds. How might our activism for the more-than-human world foster a deeper creativity in the stories we tell and the stories that we hope will transform the world? Together, we'll go into the stacks, seeking the stories we need to protect and the stories that will help us flourish.

Bioneers brings together a diverse, discerning, engaged and reflective community, and the curated conversations we host around crucial topics are highly popular and stimulating.

Each session begins with a brief presentation by a noted thought leader as a conversation starter to frame the topic. Structured group discussion follows, supported by world-class facilitators. The conversation and event wraps with a poetic synthesis of the conversation performed by a talented spoken word artist.

Join us to connect, inspire and be inspired by the collaborative community of Bioneers.
