About this Event

SolarPunk Summit Sessions: Everything Is Beautiful and I Want To Die


Join us for an evening of poetry, music, and story centered on survival, unbridled feminine power, and devotion to a changing world

The experience will move through live music, spoken word, and storytelling, creating a shared arc from arrival into reflection and resonance.

Featuring
Sam Bottner
Julia Nunes
David Adam Burns
and a live reading from Emma Zeck

An intimate, listening-centered gathering where the focus is simple: to feel, to witness, and to be moved by the work.

There will also be space woven throughout the evening to connect before, after, and in the in-between moments, allowing for conversation, reflection, and community to naturally emerge.

Emma’s upcoming book Everything Is Beautiful and I Want to Die is currently being brought to life through a Kickstarter campaign, now over halfway to its goal. If you feel moved, you can explore and back the project here:
