All around us we have media, celebrities and personally known role-models influencing our choices of who we want to be, what we buy, do, eat and how we live.
Yet, there is a new awakening around the world that we need to question who is in charge of our lives? And where are we heading towards as a civilization? This conference is focused on how we can take charge of our choices and find happiness and fulfillment along with a sustainable good life; and on how we wish to influence the world around us as change agents.
