    Building Community at TEDxWaldenPond

    Creating TEDxWalden Pond and watching it grow for these three years has been a journey of discovery—and joy. Passionate speakers, engaged audiences, and continuing dialogue with our community have all inspired us to keep building this local treasure. New England was begun by preachers and rebels, and we are continuing the talking and listening in that engaged and vigorous tradition.
