Pretty much anything you might wish to know about Bioneers can be found in their remarkable 2005 Year Book - Like Grass and Rain.

From their website, where you can download the report (copies of which will also be available at Heartland Bioneers):

Since 1990, Bioneers has gathered people at the junction of ecological restoration, human health, social justice, democracy, and spirit to highlight holistic models of systemic change. The philosophical underpinning is a Declaration of Interdependence, reflecting the wholeness of both the web of life and the interconnection of all the issues we face.

The work of Bioneers has now evolved far beyond our annual California conference, and we’ve distilled our approach to the Three C’s: Communicate, Connect, Catalyze. Communication and education are essential to understand the challenges weface and to create the world we want. Getting connected magnifies our learning, ourpower and our joy. The inspiration and beauty of the work and each other are what move us into action.
