TEDxChemungRiver - Lee Welles - Gaia Theory December 23, 2011

Favorite:

Lee Welles is the founder/creative director of The Daisyworld Project and the author of the award-winning Gaia Girls book series (Cheslea Green Publishing). Her school presentation aimed for ages 8-24, focus on reading, writing the hero's journey and living sustainably. Ms. Welles is currently teaching creative writing and yoga classes at 171 Cedar Arts Center in Corning, NY and is a contributing writer to various Gannet health and wellness magazines. Lee often has the opportunity to combine her literary adventures with her previous career as a fitness and wellness entrepreneur in entertaining presentations and keynote addresses to public and private organizations. In addition, Lee is also an elected official, serving Corning, NY as a councilman and Corning's first woman Deputy Mayor. (Although, she thinks it is much more note-worthy, to be Corning's first tap dancing deputy mayor!)

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
