In mid-October a small group of TFP staff and youth traveled to the 2005 Bioneers Conference. Geisha is one of the youth that attended.

Well what can I say? Bioneers was a great trip. I really enjoyed myself. I have to say that Bioneers really changed me. I learned so much, and took so much to teach others. You can see I went from just a girl to a girl who is now a tree hugger.

When we got to California it was really a change of pace .We got lost for three hours just on our way to the hotel. My fellow members and I looked on the positive side and considered it touring instead of being lost for an hour. When we finally got to Bioneers that is when I began to get so amazed. When we sat down to see the plenary I just couldn’t believe the atmosphere, it was so welcoming. Then when it came to the workshops my mind was in shock, in pure shock.

I attended many workshops a lot of them were geared to youth changing the world and what part we play. The workshops really put many things in perspective for me. The best part of the conference was the workshops, I loved them.

If I had a chance to go again I would not hesitate to say yes I would be up in a flash. The next group will honestly be the luckiest people on the world to go to Bioneers; I know that if I enjoyed it anyone will. I LOVE BIONEERS. It is all connected, and it is all relative.
