Bioregional Immersion

What is a bioregion?

Bioregion - noun - "biological region," the entire context in which a life system can function for a biological population, meeting that biological population’s needs.

For humans, this concept includes culture, technology, religion, spirituality, etc. But a bioregion includes ALL the dynamics of regeneration that reproduce the conditions of being alive and being healthy, moment to moment, embedded within a place.

We face a challenge to recreate the conditions for living locally in terms of material flows, integrated life systems, and thriving families.

Our community conversations are an immersion into bioregional thinking, seeing, and acting. It is an invitation into a sacred space where we must ask ourselves, "How will I steward the resources I am connected to, to ensure the viability of our bioregion?"

A Bioregional Immersion brings us into deeper relationship with the patterns that organize life in our bioregion. Here, we will learn about the flows of water in our landscape and how we can work with those patterns in creating food sovereignty. We will learn how we can engage with natural materials to create tools that support our way of life in our landscape, and how growing these materials will support the entire bioregion. We will learn about the cycles of organic materials, and how our stewardship can create new soil and eliminate greenhouse gasses.
