Why bioregional learning is vital to how we transform systems
Bioregional learning opens up the design pathways for systemic change to emerge. And it does so with life at the center of every major decision that needs to be made.

On a pilgrimage through the Mississippi Basin, a mission to create bioregional learning centers
We embarked on a journey of transformation, traveling to many sacred sites across the interior of the North American continent.

From Mississippi to Yellowstone: What headwaters teach about designing bioregional funding ecosystems
Imagine what a financial system would do if it behaved like a headwaters system. There would be continual arrival of flows from elsewhere. Resources would pool into local places. Actions would converge in the same direction. And all of it would support the continual emergence and maintenance of life.

The Survivors Will Be Bioregional
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?

Three Ways to Regenerate Bioregions
We need to organize our societies (and all of their material flows) around bioregions. Only then might we learn how to function as regenerative economies that restore ecosystems and heal the Earth. This is what my colleagues and I are supporting at the Regenerative Communities Network. We are mobilizing a growing number of existing efforts to create bioregional economies into a peer-to-peer learning network that shares tools and knowledge to speed up all our efforts.

Can We Regenerate the Earth?
My question for you is this: Do YOU believe it is possible to regenerate the Earth? If so, what are you willing to do to transform your life to become a healer of ecosystems and steward of community health? If not, what would it take to convince you to change your mind?
