To be effective, nonprofits can no longer work alone in their silos. Today, serving the community meansbeing part of a broader movement by engaging with other nonprofit sectors, corporations and government agencies. In this talk, Dr. Kevin Danaher delivers an energizing call for the next generation of leaders to connect with the powers of nature, as well. He discusses topics such as the lessons to be learned from the natural cycles, the merging of science and spirituality, and healthy globalization that is based not on the linking of elites, but on the uniting of grassroots elements across the world.

To create productive, systemic change, Danahur argues, socially conscious leaders must recognize the interconnectedness among environmental, economic, and social justice issues. He recommends creative ways for groups to shake off the "us versus them" mentality and expand their networks.
