Let's come up with new and innovative ways to inspire more people and save the planet. RSVP Below!

Background:
 
Bettmann is the author of the book Somatic Ecology, which investigates how activists and dancers use the body to become more humanly attached to the world. Bill McKibben wrote about Somatic Ecology, “in this intriguing text, movement takes a (literal) turn towards engagement with the grounded earth.” Bettmann graduated from Oberlin College with a BA in Environmental Studies, and is active in arts advocacy and arts activism in his role as board chair for the DC Advocates for the Arts.

Let's grow our green network and incorporate new communication's tools to help us live meaningful, natural lives. RSVP Below!

All are welcome!
