Hiking to a bright future together

A solarpunk hike in the spirit of systems change and radical collaboration, from the Palace of Fine Arts to Mabuhay Gardens.

Hiking in solarpunk spirit of systems change and radical collaboration. Let's meet under the tall dome at the Palace of Fine Arts and walk together to Mabuhay Gardens. Walk and discuss how we get to a brighter future together. 2-4 PM, November 19th, 2026.

Dear massively multi-disciplinary, systemic change community in the SF Bay of people in the process of changing the world who happen to hike: I am pleased to say that we have found a time when we can convene for a hike. This hiking tradition began years ago when David Hodgson and I, Bobby Fishkin, started gathering multi-disciplinary collaborators for hikes. Do you have an inter-disciplinary interest addressing global challenges and in reaching a future fit for our future selves? Do you want to de-risk hypothetical ways to change the world in real time together? Are you a social innovator, a solarpunk, a systems change leader, a multidisciplinary agent of change? Come join our conversation while hiking.

Hiking is good at creating rhythms of thought, pace of mind, and a social cadence for collaborative creativity and improvisational thought.

We will have a good hike. Please RSVP so we know to look out for you: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/2004566063056
