If you love our planet and the universe around it, join us the week after Valentine’s Day for the new VIRTUAL Space Horizons workshop. For 80 minutes each day you’ll participate in creating non-colonial, ecologically and economically conscious architecture for human expansion into space, interacting with experts in the technological, strategic, political, economic, aesthetic and theological underpinnings of life off planet earth. This revolution in human settlement sustainability may be the signature of this century in human history.

Save the dates: February 8th through the 12th, every day at 1:00 pm Eastern Standard Time. Each day’s Zoom event will have a unique theme with multiple moderators and topics all focused around a sustainable human presence off planet earth. We'll send you links to the website, speakers, topics and groups as they are made definite.
