Hiking to a bright future together.
​Hiking in solarpunk spirit of systems change and radical collaboration Meet at 3pm pacific at the steps by the lion outside of the Legion of Honor where the parking lot meets the walkway on Sunday July 26th 2026. Walk and discuss how we get to a brighter future together.
Dear massively multi-disciplinary, systemic change community in the SF Bay of people in the process of changing the world who happen to hike: I am pleased to say that we have found a time when we can convene for a hike. This hiking tradition began years ago when David Hodgson, and I, Bobby Fishkin, started gathering multi-disciplinary collaborators for hikes. Do you have an inter-disciplinary interest addressing global challenges and in reaching a future fit for our future selves? Do you want to de-risk hypothetical ways to change the world in real time together? Do you think about how impact investing can scale? Are you an social innovator? Are you a solar punk? Are you a systems change leader? Are you a multidisciplinary agent of change? Come join our conversation while hiking.
Hiking is good at creating rhythms of thought, pace of mind, and a social cadence for collaborative creativity and improvisational thought. Its also essential to ensure your thinking is cumulative with other disciplines and patterns of understanding.
Sunday July 26th hike please meet at 3pm. Join us for our hike by meeting at the Legion of Honor steps. We will have a good hike. Please let us know if you will be joining so that we know to look out for you.
