Dreem Warriors? Allies made to change the world!

This past weekend hosted a slew of amazing connections as our friends and fellow activators of the Urban Conservation Warriors visited for adventure and collaboration. With a mission to employ students (at beautiful wages) to install 100% sustainable and native landscaping, these warriors are really making an impact in Oakland. Inspiring!! Bravo to you Warriors and a special thanks to Rain Dove and Ford for sharing their time with us - what a wonderful weekend. With our parallel Dreems of changing and educating the world - we have decided to join forces. To launch this, we will be having a Dreem Warriors Retreat in the proposed location of Holy City, CA - in the presence of a ring of Redwoods to council and inspire us. This event will be held from Friday, Oct 26th - Saturday, Oct 27th. We will do lots of enthusiatic team building, activations, discussion, etc. In fact, here are the notes from our brainstorm about the event:
