Bill Weaver

Possibility journalist, filmmaker, and media strategist.

Bill has had his hands in almost every facet of television and radio for 35 years. He produces, directs, shoots, edits, and writes documentaries and short films that touch hearts and build bridges of understanding.

Bill's currently working on Midway, a web-based documentary with photographic artist Chris Jordan and author/activist Terry Tempest Williams. They are looking for resonant funders to partner with them in producing this groundbreaking film.

Otherwise, he's specializing in shorts that help raise funds and promote the missions of values-based businesses and social profit organizations (yes, that's SOCIAL profit. "Non" should be dropped from the designation of any organization trying to make the world a better place!).

Bill is a fervent explorer of new media, and new ways of telling our stories. He care's deeply about the profound changes happening in the media landscape today, and is fascinated by what it is evolving out of the chaos.

He's also founder and facilitator of Media that Matters, a conference for all facets of conventional and unconventional media aimed at making a positive difference in the world. It happens every year and one of the most beautiful places on the planet. If you are a media professional and want to take care of the world - and yourself -- Media that Matters is worth considering.

Media That Matters

Organization

As we take on the challenges of climate change and resource scarcity, our best solutions will reach beyond the symptoms of production and consumption, and will connect to a much deeper cause: the values and the worldviews that support our lifestyles and our economic models.

What new memes and messages can transform our DNA of waste and consumption? Can media help resolve the disconnect between our aspirations and our actions? Can we find a way to re-frame the meaning of a “good life” so that it is not the “good lie” that so much of media promotes these days?

At this year's conference, we'll tap our group wisdom to get us thinking about new ways we can shift our lifestyles and seed collective change.

Media that Matters is a retreat and collaboratory for digital visionaries who are building bridges to broader audiences and new possibilities.

This intimate, multidisciplinary gathering is aimed at sharpening skills, strengthening leadership, expanding professional connections, fueling passions, and navigating the currents of today's dynamic media climate.

Join us in a stunning wilderness setting for a potent blend of open dialogue, trend-spotting and transformative ideas. Media that Matters is four days of thought-provoking presenters, interactive sessions, and group-directed collaborations -- all in context that will help you return to your professions and projects refreshed, revitalized and ready for the future.

An internationally renowned centre for learning and well-being, Hollyhock impacts personal, professional and social development through over 100 programs, and when space allows offers visitors a fantastic British Columbia island holiday, where you'll enjoy wonderful Cortes Island accommodation.

Our spectacular natural setting on Cortes Island is an ideal backdrop for transformative experiences. We are linked intrinsically to our ecology, assisting us in providing a comfortable and safe environment where people can deeply connect with others, gain creative insights, and renew hope that a better world is possible.

Hollyhock is Canada's leading educational retreat centre with over 28 years experience, but you can also think of us as a "refuge for your soul", a place that allows you access to what matters, or simply time to rest, play and achieve wellness in BC.

We unite revolutionary teachers and thinkers at the leading edge of human and organizational evolution. The Hollyhock curriculum includes subjects as diverse as wellness and wisdom practices, arts and culture, business and leadership development. All courses are taught by experts in their field, in an open, interactive, accessible and fun environment.

Learning here is authentic and powerful, its impact far exceeding the physical boundaries of this special place. Our evolution into a non-profit organization has also allowed us to deepen the focus of our work towards you, our community and our offerings.
