TEDxMtHood

In the chaos of today’s world, it can seem like we’re living through an age of constant destruction. Whether it’s depletion of natural resources, corruption in our governments, violations in human rights – the problems are real and the consequences are heavy. Nature finds hope in its decomposers. Decomposers break down the dead and the dying. They metabolize what has been destroyed. They turn ruin into hope. Decomposers restore balance. They complete the broken loops. They bring back new life.

This year’s TEDxMtHood speaker line-up is confirmed and will bring Portland’s decomposers to the stage.  Their actions are deep. Their ideas are regenerative. They break down the struggle and offer new hope for a better, healthier world.

Join us on October 13th where we celebrate our teachers, our artists, our friends, our neighbors, our leaders, our activists, our scientists, our system revitalizers, our life-bringers, our hope-restorers – our decomposers.
