Solar Culture Conference Panel El Salvador 2024

Solar Culture Discussion Panel Event Photography

After the conference on Day Three Solar Culture held a panel discussion with some of the experts and speakers in quantum and circadian biology from the 2-day conference held in El Salvador at Balancé Yoga & Surf.

The post-conference panel discussion featured creator of Solar Culture Kiera Lea, Dr. Sam Soete, Roudy Nassif, Dr. Sara Pugh, Dr. Olivia Lesslar, Sarah Doheny and Mikayla Sprung.

Attendees were able to ask these experts and speakers questions directly born out of the curiosity of the 2-day conference covering topics such as light as medicine, the relationship between light and biology and how our biology and our environment work together (and how it doesn’t).

Day Two of the Solar Culture Conference

Welcome to day two of the 2024 Solar Culture Retreat and 2-day Conference. Held on the 13 degree latitude coastline of El Salvador at Balancé Yoga & Surf, facing the Pacific and the La Bocana surf break where you can ground to volcanic sand and absorb high UVB sunlight.

Continuing the conference on day two presentations by experts, doctors, practitioners and passionate leaders in the field such as Dr. Francisco Gutierrez, Michael Clusk, Dr. Sara Pugh, Dr. Olivia Lesslar, Sarah Doheny and Mikayla Sprung on the latest research and findings, and shared their experiences and journeys of quantum and circadian biology.

Day one presenters were creator Kiera Lea followed by Dr. Sam Soete, Roudy Nassif, Dr. Alexis Cowan and Kelsey Dexter MD hosted by MC Jeff Gibson.

The main topics of the event were light as medicine, the relationship between light and biology and how our biology and our environment work together (and how it doesn’t). 

Attendees were able to sit or stand grounded (harvesting photons) to the volcanic charge of the space while the 13 degree latitude provided excellent UVA and UVB sunshine (building redox).

32nd Animal Law Conference 2024

An American animal law advocacy organization, The Animal Legal Defense Fund (ALDF), held their 2024 annual conference in October at the Hilton in Portland, Oregon.

With over 30 expert speakers each year presenting about topics such as protecting farm animals, preserving land resources, laboratory animal litigation, protecting wildlife and more, the nations premier animal law event brings together a like-minded group of students, lawyers, activists, and animal lovers of all kinds to bring awareness and present action steps for the lives and rights of animals as it can be achieved through the legal system.

To learn more visit ALDF.

History of the Conference

“Lewis & Clark Law School and the Animal Legal Defense Fund have a rich history hosting and supporting animal law conferences for students, practitioners, scholars and activists. In 1982, the Animal Legal Defense Fund hosted its first animal law conference in San Francisco, California and thereafter held annual conferences until 1992. In 1993, a small contingent of Lewis & Clark Law School Student Chapter Members interested in animal welfare hosted a one-day symposium addressing wildlife issues. From that humble beginning, The Animal Law Conference at Lewis & Clark Law School started its tradition of hosting an annual academic conference to address the subject of animal law.

Over the years, the annual Animal Law Conference at Lewis & Clark continued to grow in size and popularity with the support and shared vision of the Animal Legal Defense Fund and the Center for Animal Law Studies, which was founded at Lewis & Clark Law School in 2008. At the same time, the Animal Legal Defense Fund continued to host animal law conferences every three years, aptly called “The Future of Animal Law.” In 2013 we joined forces to create “The Animal Law Conference,” co-presented by the Animal Legal Defense Fund and the Center for Animal Law Studies.

As an annual event, the conference alternates between Portland, Oregon, and another city each year. The organizers of the Conference hope that by hosting the event in different parts of the country, it will become accessible to those who may not be able to travel to Portland, Oregon. With this exciting merger, the Animal Law Conference is the preeminent event in the field of animal law today.” —Website
