YBF Sovereignty Summit

Yellow Barn Farm 9417 N Foothills Hwy., Longmont

We are using the word Sovereignty to define our own personal authority over ourselves and the responsibility that it demands from each of us as individuals to self-govern in high integrity with a shared community Ethos. The day will consist of eight 3-person panels with 1 moderator, with a round-table lunch in the afternoon. The “WHY” for this event is to bring together the local movers and shakers and our broader audience of supporters to discuss the importance of each of these topics as it directly relates to us as a community. It will be community-led and crafted around 8 key topics.
