Creating and hosting events is in Synchronicity Earth’s DNA. We are in a fortunate position to be able to convene a diverse range of experts from across sectors. Whether hearing from our conservation partners, renowned scientists, artists, philosophers, or business leaders, we curate a range of events. Our hope and our goal is to share knowledge, connect people and inspire action.
Our sister initiative Flourishing Diversity also creates and curates a range of events, podcasts, videos, and case studies on themes relating to biological and cultural diversity: Explore Flourishing Diversity
