<ul><li><strong>Inspired and Connected- People and the Natural World</strong></li><li>Socio-environmental speaker Céline Cousteau travels the world, documenting the interconnection of nature and humans.

Through film, photo, and voice Céline reveals how our cultures and the plants and animals that surround us are all interconnected, illustrating the undeniable connection between the health of the environment and the survival of us all.</li><li><strong>The Women of my Family- three generations breaking barriers</strong></li><li>Céline Cousteau comes from an iconic family yet the story of the women is rarely told. Like an iceberg, if we only pay attention to the 10% that is above the water, we are missing out on a whole picture. Through Céline’s own experiences, alongside that of her grandmother’s and mother’s, discover three generations and a lineage of 70 years of female explorers as Céline brings you on a very personal voyage of what it is to be a woman in the field.</li><li><strong>Transformational Activism</strong></li><li>Most of us have heard about transformational leadership; Céline now applies this concept to an entirely different and essential field - activists, advocates, people who are passionate or defend a cause, or lead with the heart. Weaving storytelling and experiential practices, Céline takes us through a vulnerable journey of how beliefs and values have impacted her work and sense of self. You will explore how your belief system and values have shaped how you relate to the world and to others. The journey begins within each of you.</li></ul>
