Bioneer Miracles

I attended the 2007 Bioneers conference in San Rafael again this year, and blogged a complete report in the Beauty Dialogues for those of you who did not make it to San Rafael, or one of the 17 other Beaming Bioneer satellite locations around the US.

There was quite a lot of arts-related material this year, and you might be particularly interested in the EcoArts Strategies (1st day - 1st afternoon session) and Indigenous Arts sessions (3rd day - last afternoon session).

In addition, there was a wonderful piece of environmental art on the grounds, created from a field of leek blossoms from an 'excess crop' that would have otherwise been just plowed under.

It was a "gratitude hut", with a dark interior where you could go to sit and ponder the miracles of your life, and remember what you were most grateful for. Inside it was full of 'milagros' or little charms and notes hanging from the walls in representation of all those miracles.
