Reimagining Rebellion

### Conversations for Being Human in a World Gone Wild

This is a small, guided conversation for people who care about the world but are tired of the noise, polarization, and performative dialogue that dominates most public spaces.

Instead of debating or lecturing, we explore a different kind of rebellion — one rooted in clarity, steadiness, and staying human in a world that often feels chaotic.

This gathering is intentionally small (capped at 10 people) so the conversation can stay thoughtful and genuine.

You don’t need to prepare anything or bring anything.

Just show up as you are.

This is the first gathering of what I hope will become a regular series of thoughtful conversation rooms.

### What We’ll Do

The morning will include
• A short opening story about how this work began
• A brief introduction to the idea of Reimagining Rebellion
• Guided conversation with the group
• Time to explore questions and perspectives together

Along the way we’ll explore questions like:
• What if burnout is misdirected rebellion?
• What does it mean to belong without losing yourself?
• How do we stay human in a world that often feels chaotic?

A participating guide will be provided prior to the event.

There’s no pressure to speak if you’d prefer to listen. Many people find that simply being in a thoughtful room like this is valuable.

### What These Conversations Are About

At their heart, these gatherings explore something simple but powerful:
reclaiming aspects of our humanity that modern culture often erodes.

Things like
• attention — slowing down enough to actually notice what’s happening
• curiosity — asking real questions instead of defending positions
• connection — listening and speaking in ways that bring people closer
• integrity — aligning what we sense, say, and do
• meaning — remembering that life is a creation, not a reaction

You don’t need to have answers.
Just curiosity.

### The Guiding Rebels

These conversations are also shaped by a small constellation of voices I call the Guiding Rebels — thinkers and artists who help us see clearly and stay human in complicated times.

You may hear reflections inspired by:
• Richard Feynman — curiosity and intellectual honesty
• George Carlin — cultural clarity and fearless language
• Robin Williams — emotional expression and compassion
• Pink Floyd — the emotional landscape of modern life

They aren’t authorities to follow.

They’re lenses that help us look at our lives — and our culture — a little more clearly.

### What to Bring

Nothing required.
You may want to bring:
• curiosity
• an open mind
• a willingness to explore ideas

### Finding the Room

We’ll meet in the Jubilee Room at TownePlace Suites.
When you arrive at the hotel, you can ask the front desk where the Jubilee Room is located and they will direct you.
If you arrive a few minutes early, that’s perfectly fine.

### A Note on the Room

This is not a debate, a lecture, or a networking event.
It’s a moderated conversation designed to be thoughtful, honest, and human.

If you’ve been looking for a space where people can think out loud without the pressure to perform or argue, you’ll likely feel comfortable here.

Tickets help cover the cost of the meeting space and support the continuation of these small conversation rooms.

### A Small Gift to Continue the Conversation

Every participant will receive a signed copy of Gary’s book,
Rewilding Your Soul: A Rebel’s Guide to Being Human in a World Gone Wild.

It’s meant as a companion for the journey — something you can return to when the world feels a little wild and you want to reconnect with what’s most real for you.

Coffee and Water provided.
