About Ben Weaver
Ben Weaver is a father, poet, songwriter, letterpress printer and book maker, public speaker, community dreamer, and cyclist (bike wilder).
Ben’s work is about tending connections between humans and the web of non-human entities to which we are all woven. Relationship is the antidote to despair and disconnect.
Everything we need is already present inside us. We have the ability to imagine and build new worlds by being curious, vulnerable, and imaginative, in space together.

“Ben Weaver is one of those people you might encounter in a lifetime whose vision for justice is as a truth-teller.
I first had the opportunity to work with Ben in 2019 for a climate convening in collaboration with Three Rivers Park District. He has been a trusted collaborator on climate engagement initiatives ever since.
Ben's passion for climate action is rooted in resisting the narrative of disconnection in our modern society. His integrity and care is evident as a solo parent and friend navigating this world. He generously shares his insights as stories to help make sense and bring needed repair. Ben's voice, whether through song, written word, or community facilitation, is a clarion call and a gentle offering, inviting the community into remembrance of a deeper connection with nature and each other."
