Prairie Fire Bioneers Conference

Bioneers Conference

"Bioneers are social and scientific innovators from all walks of life and disciplines who have peered deep into the heart of living systems to understand how nature operates, and to mimic 'nature's operating instructions' to serve human ends without harming the web of life."   -- from bioneers.org


Bioneers, also known as the Collective Heritage Institute, is a non-profit organization that focuses on exploring solutions for the world's most pressing environmental and social issues -- from large-scale ecosystem restoration to the health of the mind, body, and human communities.

Since 2011, we've hosted our very own Bioneers satellite conference -- one of around 20 across the country -- which is affiliated with the annual National Bioneers Conference in San Rafael, California. Our conference is open to the public for a very small fee, so be sure to join us next year! Details will be announced in fall 2013.


2012 Prairie Fire Bioneers Conference
Our most recent satellite conference -- held October 26-28, 2012 -- featured renowned speakers, interactive local workshops, nature walks, local food, and more. View some of the highlights:
