Over the past year or so since I discovered Slow Money, it's been one exciting development after another. A couple of months ago we participated in their first teleconference...giving us the opportunity to listen in with others around the nation and Canada.

They hosted their very first conference last year in Santa Fe, NM which was a great success. Now they're hosting their second conference in June at the gorgeous Shelburne Farms in Vermont. And get this:  Eliot Coleman AND Joel Salatin will be speaking at this event! Very exciting stuff!

We just received this e-mail:

Can you see yourself standing in this field?

Well, not by yourself. You'll actually be there with hundreds of thought leaders, entrepreneurs, investors and activists from around the country. Under a big tent. Next to Lake Champlain. Comparing notes with folks from Austin, Seattle, Boston, New Orleans and many other places where Slow Money initiatives are emerging.  

And listening to Bill McKibben, Joel Salatin, Gary Hirshberg, Eliot Coleman, Will Raap, Erika Allen and many other inspiring leaders at Slow Money's National Gathering at Shelburne Farms June 9-11.

The event is filling up, so don't delay.  Register today.

[I also read on their FB page that if you join Slow Money with a donation amount, that they'll significantly discount the registration fee for this event. So check out the Slow Money website and you can also follow them on Facebook.]
