Wise Innovation | Harvest Day
**Recording and resources will be shared with all who register post-event!**
🍂 Wise Innovation | Harvest Day [virtual]
School of Wise Innovation invites you to participate in a new kind of demo day: harvesting wisdom from a big year, learning from true visionaries in the field, and connecting with fellow travelers on a journey to live, work, and create with greater harmony.
The intention for this half-day virtual experience is for our growing ecosystem to come together and learn about amazing people and projects role modeling wise innovation.
Instead of the usual homogenized, flattened, rapid-fire, anxious pitches on the latest frothy thing...
We're curious what happens when we gather with more ritual and embodiment: listening to authentic storytelling around pivotal moments of awe and challenge, instructive examples of deeply aligned entrepreneurship, and hard earned wisdom on what's required to enact vision with integrity.
