PNW Climate Week
I came to PNW Climate Week curious how I could better serve the planet. That might mean using my software skills to power an organization focused on environmental impact, conservation, or clean energy. It could also look completely different, part of a more conscious lifestyle spent tending community gardens or helping in ways I have yet to dream up. There are a lot of possibilities!

North Coast Men's Gathering
This year was my first time attending the North Coast Men’s Gathering at the Mattole Camp and Retreat Center in the beautiful lost coast town of Petrolia. Huge thanks to the organizers and participants over the last 33+ years who have contributed to such an incredible event! I was blown away at the quantity and quality of men that came out of the woodwork who might not normally have a chance to connect on a day to day basis around town. Most men’s groups I’ve been a part of in the past have been dogmatic and fixated on ideas around masculinity, while this group was organic and inclusive. The gathering is a DreamMaker project of the Ink People Center for the Arts.

Impact Hub Berlin
I hope that Impact Hub Berlin never changes. Members will come and go, superficial improvements may happen over time, but the warm and colorful community there can withstand all of it. To understand this co-working space, you have to know its history and the people behind it.

Impact Hub Stockholm
Travel to a place where you know nobody and instantly become part of the community there. That’s the experience that I had visiting Stockholm and using the Impact Hub Passport! Everyone from the founder to the hosts and members were extremely friendly and collaborative. This has been the first stop on my journey which will take me to 3 (now 4) hubs in Europe, so it will always have a special place in my heart.
