Yesterday we experienced the feeling of Regenerate Cascadia being born as a social movement in the world. In the photo above, you can see me giving a talk at Lost Valley Educational Center just south of Eugene, Oregon to an audience of 50 people.It was incredible to hold a collective dream for the future of humanity and watch it take root in the hearts of many people at the same time. Many had tears in their eyes. The energy was palpable. Some would say afterwards that they had been waiting for this moment all of their lives.This is only our second stop

On May 19th, we embark upon a life-changing adventure to awaken the dream to regenerate the Colorado River Basin…The Colorado River is probably the most conflicted and challenging body of water in the world. It has a vast networks of dams to control its water flows and generate electricity or food for 30 million human inhabitants. Textbooks present this incredible river system as the standard example for how NOT to manage a river.It was famously divided into promised volumes of water to different states during a record decade of high precipitation. This means it is over allocated and has been since the

When we opened the Design School for Regenerating Earth, our dream was to weave patterns of ecological and social restoration across entire landscapes — until they emerge as continental tapestries of regeneration. Right now this dream is expressing itself around four major regions of the Earth:Cascadia in the northwestern part of North America;The Great Lakes of North America;The “Great Turn” of the Northern Andes in Colombia; andThe Colorado River Basin of the southwest in North America.Our ambitious vision is to activate a Planetary Network of Bioregions with learning exchanges within and between them. This is fundamental to living out The Design Pathway for Regenerating Earth.Right now,

Everything is connected. This simple truth has profound consequences. It should be obvious that all knowledge is connected too — though this is clearly not the case. Simply look at any course catalogue at a university and you will find that knowledge has been divided into disciplinary silos and academic departments.When I went to college back in 1995, I arrived with a full scholarship that allowed me to meander across the course offerings without selecting a major. It was commonplace that a friend would come across me on campus and we’d strike up a conversation. Many a time it was that I

This article is an invitation into the Design School for Regenerating Earth.People all over the world are gathering to learn how to restore landscapes, collaborate to achieve systemic outcomes, and work together in service to safeguarding our planetary future.When I wrote The Design Pathway for Regenerating Earth, it was to show that it really is possible to do this at the necessary scales. We can organize ourselves around holistic, integrated landscapes known as bioregions. Create prosocial groups that know how to work toward shared goals. And weave across features of landscapes to collaborate at continental and planetary scales.https://medium.com/media/03ea951aec929d1ecf25c9b1e659f499/hrefBack in 2020,

It has long been known that the political boundaries of the world as they are today do not readily map onto the landscapes of challenges for ecological or social health. We need a different way of organizing ourselves. The most coherent way to organize humanity is in the bioregional approach of holistic landscapes and cultural identities.One powerful way to do this is embodied in the concept of a bioregional learning center — which is an educational hub for gathering and synthesizing knowledge about local ecology and culture. This ten minute video gives a flavor of the potential that exists to be unleashed

I spent most of my life looking for the school that didn’t exist. Nine years spread across three universities only confirmed that the challenges humanity faces will not be addressed within them — though they can play a role if something new was born.Right now, our team is manifesting the Design School for Regenerating Earth that we aspire to become a vital piece of the new educational tapestry. It grows out of three years after founding Earth Regenerators as a global community of people who (a) get the seriousness of our planetary predicament; and (b) want to help heal people and landscapes in
