Event Series Bioregional Mapping Design Lab

Bioregional Mapping Design Lab

Virtual Event Virtual Event

Hi everyone, This recurring design lab meets every two weeks for everyone interested in bioregional mapping and creating a bioregional atlas. Group Homework! - each session, find one "Bioregional" map that you feel like represents the bioregion you live, and share it with the group. We'll be talking about recent bioregional mapping updates we've each been working on and also resources that we want to create, including: - A Bioregional Mapping Handbook - A Bioregional Mapping Presentation - Adding key pages onto the bioregional atlas website, including each of our bioregions.  If there is any trouble connecting, you can do so with this link https://us06web.zoom.us/j/2714307762?pwd=bVdYQWg0ZUdHVnBWUmJNZ2plRUxtUT09

Bioregional Mapping Design Lab

Hi everyone, This recurring design lab meets every two weeks for everyone interested in bioregional mapping and, ultimately, creating a bioregional atlas. Group Homework! – each session, find one “Bioregional” map that you feel like representes your home place, and share it with the group. A bioregional map means using maps that share the stories that are important to us, that are often left off traditional maps, or share an element that grows from the physical and geographic realities of a place.  We’ll be talking about recent bioregional mapping updates we’ve each been working on and also resources that we want to create, including: – A Bioregional Mapping Handbook – A Bioregional Mapping Presentation – Adding key pages onto the bioregional atlas website, including each of our bioregions.  If there is any trouble connecting, you can do so with this link https://us06web.zoom.us/j/2714307762?pwd=bVdYQWg0ZUdHVnBWUmJNZ2plRUxtUT09

Weekly Website Meeting

Washington

Hi all, Every Tuesday at 10 am we meet to discuss the website. Please join us if you are interested in taking a leadership role in helping us get up a Front-end website for Regenerate Cascadia that can be a movement portal to help connect a community and organizer backend to a front end. A multisite – with templates that easily connect and grow Regenerate Hubs and Guilds. An organizer dashboard allows organizers to find tools, resources and onboarding materials they need to be active. A backend community site, where people and groups can self-organize and connect.  

Birthing BLC’s: Cascadia Regional Organizing Call

Washington

This is a space for everyone within the bioregion to come together with others to start to create a shared identity across our bioregion, and have learning exchanges. This series of meetings supports the Birthing BLCs learning journey and will be held every other Thursday at 9:30 am in the off weeks. There will be opportunities for design discussions around material in the learning journey webinars. We’ll also share updates and can have some breakouts into Cascadia bioregions. The  #Cascadia bioregion is a system of 75 distinct ecoregions – brought together by the Columbia, Fraser, and Snake watersheds, and a growing bioregional identity that strives to nurture a regenerative culture for the future of our planet. Sitting along the Northeastern Pacific rim of Northern America, Cascadia stretches or 2,500 miles (4,000 km) from the Copper River in Southern Alaska, to Cape Mendocino, approximately 200 miles north of San Francisco, and east as far as the Yellowstone Caldera and continental divide. It encompasses all of the state of Washington, all but the southeastern corner of Idaho, and portions of Oregon, California, Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, Montana, Alaska, Yukon, and British Columbia. About 18 million people call Cascadia home. If you’re one of them, we’d love to meet you! Brandon Letsinger and Clare Attwell, part of the Regenerate Cascadia core team, will hold the process with regular sharings from some of the current prototyping in RC and including emergent structures and processes resulting from the Cascadia Bioregional Activation tour (you can still view session recordings from this six-day event featuring local and international speakers). However, this space is for you! It nurtures connections between all of us and supports and empowers your work. No connection to RC is needed or asked, but those who would like to help us develop our processes as we join this learning journey are also welcome. We’ll all practice fractally scale-linking within our bioregion and with other bioregions across the continent and planet, as well as opportunities for connection and collaboration. Join us to explore the possibilities! #Cascadia #Bioregions #Bioregionalism
