This is how Bob Banner was first described to me by someone in working in the California Transition Town Movement. I contacted Bob a few weeks back and some beautiful connections blossomed due to that connection.

I finally had a chance to sit with Bob yesterday and talk about what seemed like everything! We covered media and the ability to affect change, ego and it's limitations in our present reality, permaculture and the future of humanity... and a bunch of other stuff that I can't seem to recall off hand.

It was a great dialog with Bob overflowing with energy and enthusiasm! The light shines through this man's eyes while he talks about the potentially dark reality that is facing all of us. He spent a lot of time speaking about how to create change and redesign our world rather than wasting our energy resisting the status quo. He talked about all the years he spent fighting and resisting until one day he opened himself up to some positive media, and ZING.. the light hit him. He realized that wonderful things were happening all around him and if he could be positively affected, so could everyone else.

It's probably somewhere around that point that he began to publish and edit Hope Dance. Bob is also involved in a ton of other networks and positive impact connectivity processes ;-) Here are a couple more,
