Join us for the opening of our first-ever Cascadia bioregional summit, and the launch of Regenerate Cascadia, a program working for the long-term regeneration of our bioregion and home.  Using a Miro Board, we will collectively map who is in the room, (where we are from, what we feel is most important, and identities and backgrounds we may want to share), what personal offerings and takeaways we’d like to see from this week, and what do people feel is most important as we grow Regenerate Cascadia to weave our projects across watersheds? 

If you are doing work that you think is valuable and want to connect with others, join us for our Bioregional Summit in person and online from November 4-5. This is an open-space format event,.

Joe Brewer will join us for our first session of the day to help set context for Regenerate Cascadia, and what we are trying to build. 

Learning how to form a better relationship with water in your landscape can have a profound effect on the planet and the ecosystem’s health and well-being. “Water is all Life” Water is responsible for much of the heat dynamics on earth affecting climate far more than carbon. Learn how to form a better relationship with water in your landscape in order to have a positive impact on global issues personally. Designing a Water-Resilient Landscape Over the last several years we have witnessed increasing occurrences of droughts, floods, and threats of fires. Although we get over 3 feet of rain per year it is not consistent throughout the seasons. I will share with you an overview of strategies that can be implemented on your land to work with water to maximize the benefits and minimize the problems. Learning to read the land and partner with natural systems to create an abundant resilient regenerative system. Questions and answer period will follow the presentation. As a co-steward of Inspiration Farm, Brian has a wide breadth of practical knowledge on how to partner with natural systems to bring forth regenerative stability and abundance. He has three Permaculture Design certificates and is recently one of the first graduates from Zach Weiss’s Water Stories course at the professional level. He now teaches and offers consultations services for others who want to fast track resilient systems of their own. His enthusiasm for sharing this with a wider audience shows in all that he does. Inspiration Farm is an 11 acre homestead styled farm founded in 1994. Integrating Biodynamic and Permaculture practices in relation to annual & perennial food systems, animal husbandry, appropriate technology, land, water and nutrient management. Throughout the year Inspiration Farm hosts a variety of Events, Tours and Workshops. More info can be found at http://www.inspirationfarm.com

This workshop with Anna Purpera will provide an overview of ProSocial, a worldview based in evolutionary theory, contextual behavioral science, and Elinor Ostrom’s Nobel Prize winning work in economics. ProSocial can be combined with different governance structures, such as sociocracy, to improve engagement and collaboration between group members or groups of groups.
