Join Joe Brewer, the Design School for Regenerating Earth and the Cascadia Department of Bioregion for our Seattle leg of the Cascadia Activation Tour and Summit – happening October 1-30 in 14 cities around the Salish Sea, and online from Nov 3-12. $10-50 suggested donation. No one turned away for lack of funds.   In Seattle, we will have two events, happening Sunday, October 15th. Join us for a breakfast and strategy session early in the day at Om Culture, then a larger presentation and discussion Sunday evening at Woodlawn Hall near Greenlake.    You can find them on Facebook at:  https://www.facebook.com/events/1398444637373356/ https://www.facebook.com/events/909363187468448/   Learn more at: https://regeneratecascadia.org  Joe is a complexity researcher with a unique academic background in atmospheric sciences, physics, philosophy, and cognitive linguistics. In 2020, he launched an initiative to regenerate 500,000 hectares of land in Barichara, Colombia, and in 2023, he founded the Design School for Regenerating Earth. A long-time resident of Seattle, Joe is returning from Colombia with a wealth of inspiration and strategies and is eager to share what he has learned about the potential to interweave bioregional communities for a thriving world.

Join us at Olio Cafe. On October 14, from 7 to 9pm, we invite you to join us for drinks and dinner at a nearby cafe. We want space & discussion to explore whatever got stirred up from the Friday evening presentation and the Saturday discussions. This gives us a space to weave together who we are as an island community and what we are becoming, how our community watershed is interconnected within a larger bioregion, and how our bioregion is interconnected with a resilient planet that can be healed. Our purpose is to create a space to catalyze more connections and shared learning, and to strengthen the ongoing regenerative work so many of us are doing that holds our community together. The Vashon Island hosts for this event have formed a small bioregional steward circle, and we are facilitating the round-table discussion as part of the Regenerate Cascadia Activation Tour to seed ongoing inspiration. We intend this to be a beginning – an opening to deepening conversations that will unfold through future gatherings, as well as other events throughout the bioregion.
