13th annual TEDxMarin Topics announced

Recently the TEDxMarin Board connected with its community for a theme that resonated this year and noticed a collective desire to pause, rethink, and possibly reconfigure their lives. We heard it everywhere said the executive board: people are questioning whether to stay in California, how we can have a more civil democracy, whether to keep an unfulfilling job, or if they'll have enough to retire, and with almost everyone - given what we have gone thru with the Pandemic, expressing a desire to find greater meaning and purpose in everyday life.

So the September 17th program was built around those questions. The event is in a SALON FORMAT. This is the first time in 2 + years a live and in-person TEDxMarin speaker event has been presented.

The Board announced that these are the TOPICS the speakers are expected to cover:

• CALIFORNIA: Is it time to leave California? A deep dive into the future of our state, especially the water crisis.
• MEANING: The best strategies for ensuring greater meaning and purpose in our daily lives and work.
• POLARIZATION: There is brand new research coming from a massive study on how to lower the toxic divisiveness in our hyper-partisan democracy. There may be good news.
• NATURE and AWE: A compelling look at new scientific research showing the restorative powers of experiencing awe in the outdoors.
• INTENTIONAL COMMUNITIES: What is behind this emerging national movement? What are the various types of communities to choose from? Is it a viable option to counter rising housing costs?
• Q&A with the speakers on stage.
• CONVERSATION: Join the speakers, TEDxMarin Board members, and your fellow attendees at a private off-site after-party for post-show conversation and cocktails.
