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, …

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 …

We are prototyping new ways to collaborate with Barichara that can be applied to other bioregions in the future…A few months ago Penny Heiple and I hosted the first call for Barichara Projects where we are organizing to help with fundraising and other supports that can collaborate with those who participate virtually from around the world.The focus was on how to create structures and processes for collaboration. You can watch the recording here:https://medium.com/media/a558c19198d51881ed696a190dc10e1d/hrefWatch this video to see how we are learning to collaborate.In this article, we would like to share some of the structures that are emerging for how to “activate” and …

I want to begin sharing how we can learn to “activate” the regeneration of entire bioregions…The work of Bioregional Activators is to create real-world impacts on the ground in different landscapes around the world. This means each landscape needs to learn how to organize itself at the bioregional or territorial scale.Here in Barichara, we are creating a territorial foundation. It is a specific incarnation of something more general. Not every bioregion needs to create a territorial foundation, but every bioregion DOES need the core capacities enabled by what our territorial foundation is doing.Also here in Barichara we are creating an ecoversity. …

We simply will not regenerate the Earth without creating a planetary network of integrated landscapes… this is a sobering truth for all of us.A few months ago, the founder of Commonland Foundation came to visit us in Barichara. His name is Willem Ferwerda and he has figured out how to translate large-scale infrastructure projects into a language for regenerating entire landscapes.The diagram you see above is something I created after sitting with Willem on the final day of his visit. It is the model for a landscape fund at the scale of at least 100,000 hectares for a duration of more …

by Opaline Lysiak & Thomas Lovett — adapted from an original article published on 4ReturnsStudents in an agriculture school happy to use tools to study soil lifeThe time is right to empower youth and bring on an agricultural revolutionMore than 40% of farmers will be retired by 2030 in Europe. That means the disappearance of 230,000 farmers in France over the next 10 years. Farming is a risky business to get into and the profession is greatly undervalued. At the same time, there are issues of prolonged drought, rising temperatures and increased food insecurity for people in France and beyond. We need a new …
