	At a time when humanity needs to work as one, the media climate is increasingly fractured. Today’s information society seems to support nuance rather than knowledge, conflict over conversation, isolation over integration.
	Cultural and technological shifts continue to change the way most of today’s media produce content, reach audiences, and fund their work. Meanwhile, the planet is facing a massive crisis, as social, environmental, and financial calamities become inextricably intertwined. Now more than ever, it’s vital that a broad diversity of today’s storytellers have intimate opportunities to more deeply connect and collaborate.
	Media that Matters is a retreat and think-tank aimed at building such bridges. This intimate gathering is an oasis of creativity and support -- nourished by spacious structure, fabulous food, great fun, and a spectacular wilderness setting.
