Cascadia and bioregionalism are one of the most powerful, yet least understood organizing philosophies for our world today.
Join me as I jump in on a journey to learn more about the history, the principles of bioregionalism, bioregional mapping and what it will take to build radical movements that can effectively grow regenerative cultures and be the change that our world needs right now.
Currently, I am an administrator at Regenerate Cascadia, producer of the Cascadia Northwest Arts and Music Festival, and executive director of the Department of Bioregion. I am the founding director of CascadiaNow!, before stepping back in 2017, former board member of the People’s Harm Reduction Alliance, the largest peer run and managed needle exchange program in the United States, and co-founder of the Seattle Street Medical Collective. My journey to learn more about democratic ways of living, human rights and sustainability have taken me around the world, from ecocamp and medical infrastructure building in Germany in 2008, and Scotland in 2005, to living in Tunisia after the Arab Spring during their constituent assembly process in 2011, to living and working in Beijing for the Audi, Volkswagen, as well as the French and German Chambers of Commerce in 2012.
I have always been inspired by the amazing people I meet, their ideas for how to change the world.
