Will Lorenzin presents Back to the Land: Conservation Burial and Environmental Land Conservation
Once upon a time it was said that the only certainties in life are death and taxes (Billionaires have successfully cut out the taxes certainty). This presentation discusses environmental land conservation in general and conservation burial specifically. Conservation burial gives us the option of returning to the earth naturally while preserving natural ecosystems.
Ursula Szczepinska and Chief Anthony Holloway presen Using Lessons from History to Shape Police Training
Did you know that German Police officers were complicit in the murders of millions of people during the Holocaust? Because of this, The Florida Holocaust Museum works with law enforcement agencies across the state of Florida to teach state and local officers the lessons of the Holocaust to stay vigilant against “just following orders”.
The FHM’s Senior Director of Education and Research, Ursula Szczepinska and St Pete Police Chief, Anthony Holloway, will co-present on this remarkable yet little known program.
Dr. Rachael Meir presents Nobody Chose Monogamy. They Just Never Questioned It. A Psychologist’s Case Against Inherited Love Stories
Most of us spent zero minutes consciously choosing monogamy and approximately 10,000 hours absorbing it from Disney movies, rom-coms, and whoever cast Ryan Gosling. As a psychologist, relationship coach, and author of 50 Questions To Ask Before Opening Your Relationship , I spend my days working with people who are questioning that rulebook or navigating relationship structures that come with a limited cultural roadmap. The conversations people exploring ethical non-monogamy and polyamory are forced to have — about beliefs, attachment, and what they actually want from love versus what they were taught to want — are conversations everyone deserves to have. This is a 15-minute, judgment-free, occasionally funny look at relationship autopilot, what it costs us, and the surprisingly simple questions that can change everything. No recruiting for polyamory, no relationship structure required — just a psychologist who has lived this herself and thinks the most loving thing you can do in a relationship is actually choose it.
