Exploring the Ozarks :: A Bioregional Journey The stream you see at the top of this article was my lifeline. I am here because of her clear waters, rippling chimes of natural music, and the deep calm I felt playing in her flows as a child. Welcome to Joy Creek. Penny and I took Elise to visit […]

It is time to activate a planetary network of bioregional learning centers… engaging at least 100 in the next year. Earth Regenerators turns three on December 29th… and we have come such a long way. I just re-read Birthing the Design School Next Year (in 2021) that was written more than two years ago. It felt

I want to talk to all of you today about the humans that survived the current planetary predicament. How did they organize their lives? What was the key to their success? It is no secret that we are in the midst of a severe period of ecological collapse. The exploding human population lay flat on

Ashes to ashes. Dust to dust. We all become compost — but who among us feeds regeneration for the Earth? We are all at risk with the Coronavirus. It cannot be contained at this point in time — though there is still much that can be done to slow its spread with social distancing and quarantines to avoid overwhelming our

For example, am I truly privileged to have been conquered and assimilated so many generations ago that I don’t really know where I am indigenous to? The role of privilege arises
Say hello to Alejandra and Esteban. They are friends we have made in the three months living here in Barichara. Yesterday we were invited to dine with them — together with three generations of family members and other friends — feeling welcomed and vibrant as human beings. My family came to Colombia on a quest to discover how to live regeneratively.
