We are organizing our first “bioregional updates” session for members of the design school — where teams on the ground in different bioregions share what they are learning with each other. Feeling the importance of these exchanges for the future of landscape-level efforts.

Joe Brewer retweeted: Just arrived somewhere with a vibrant local culture and a real sense that bioregionalism can happen here. I’ve been reflecting on the many reasons why that is and something simple popped up. The use of cars here is minimal. Most people walk. Most people talk.

LOVING this interview between @AndrewMillison and @NJHagens about permaculture, watershed governance, and how to organize humanity around the shape of landscapes. youtu.be/52L4Ncs0jLk

Joe Brewer retweeted: Is this just happening in Cascadia, or is this ‘great waking-up’ happening everywhere? There are clusters of people & emerging networks springing to life throughout this bioregion. #TheDesignSchoolForRegeneratingEarth, – welcome scaffolding to support a regenerative vision

This is really happening… Quoted feed from @RootingExplorer Had an inspiring conversation yesterday with @pennyheiple and Anna Purpera about bioregional Design Labs. Feeling how potent and orienting it is to design around actual landscape and community opportunities and challenges. How fresh. How embodied. How real.
