Engaging Presentations, Performances, and Workshops
Presentations and Keynotes
Eco-Tones Performances
Root Systems Institute provides engaging presentations that meet audiences where
they are and take them where they want to go. Even though the topics covered often
require serious attention and concerted, immediate action, the process of learning
should always be fun. I have 15 years of experience as a speaker and an educator
and I specialize in making information that is confusing or challenging easy to
understand and embrace.
My public talks are designed to educate and inspire audiences with a combination of
real-world examples of what is, and compelling visions of what could be. I offer
presentations on a variety of subjects but am more than happy to customize the
format or content so that it meet your needs and speaks to your audience.

The Eco-Tones performances combine practical information about how to live a
more satisfying and sustainable life with a compelling and thought-provoking music
performance. The Eco-Tones have been performing together for nearly seven years
and have developed a unique program with an uncommon synergistic harmony.
They say that music is the universal language and an edu-tainment presentation
might be perfect if you're looking for a fun and compelling way to engage your
audience. Learn more...

| “Jennifer understands people, and she knows that lecturing them about their carbon footprint or telling them to buy compact fluorescent light bulbs isn't really going to change their lives. Instead, she approaches topics like sustainability and simple living from a holistic perspective and helps audiences look at their motivations and attitudes and the things that make them truly happy. She does all this while connecting to audiences in a very personal, relaxed, and down-to- earth manner – and with a great sense of humor!" ~Barbara Stedman, Co-Founder, Living Lightly Fair; Director, National and International Scholarships and Honors Fellow for Ball State University |

Workshops and Classes
My programs always emphasize the psychological and values-based aspects of
transitioning to a more sustainable lifestyle as those aspects are mostly overlooked
in our culture and they are essential for achieving satisfying, long-term behavior
change. I also offer a whole-systems, whole-life perspective because even if you are
the most environmentally sustainable person on the planet, and your relationship or
finances are in the toilet, that is just not sustainable. Any of the topics below can be
combined or customized to create a unique program that is ideal for your audience.
Classes
These educational programs are usually an hour or two, and depending upon the
setting and content, may include an opportunity for activities and participant
involvement. Some topics include: Simple Ways to Reduce Your Environmental
Impact at Home and on the Go; Initiating Global Change from the Inside Out;
Cultivating the Internal Skills for Sustainability; Communication Skills; Mindfulness
and Voluntary Simplicity; Green Business Basics; and Whole Life Sustainability.
Workshops
These half-day to two-day day educational events are designed to be interactive and
experiential and leave participants with new awareness, skills, and motivation that
they can apply to all areas of their lives.

| “The playful soulful Eco-Tones awaken that wild spirit within – awaken that part of us that yearns to roll up our sleeves and heal this breathing planet. Like running with the pack or beating wings in mass migration, this performance tugs at the roots of what it means to be alive during the sixth extinction. Between the woodpile and the vegetable garden, the Eco-Tones crafted rhythms and spoken word that inspired my activist friends toward greatness on behalf of earth.” Jim Merkel, Founder of the Global Living Project; Author of Radical Simplicity: Small Footprints on a Finite Earth; and Former Sustainability Coordinator for Dartmouth College |
