Humankind has much to answer for globally. Here, on a small scale, we can move beyond simply "doing no harm" and take up our responsibility as REGENERATORS, weaving a resilient future for Whidbey.
Bioregionalism is a way of living that starts from the land and waters that give us life. It asks us to know our home place deeply. This is very different from the dominant "environmentalism of consumption," which suggests we can shop our way to resilience by buying an EV or the latest eco-brand, while leaving the deeper patterns of extraction, inequality and disconnection untouched. Bioregionalism says what truly matters is taking care of Earth, together.
At our Island Conversations on March 5, we will learn about Regenerate Whidbey and its evolution within the larger Cascadia Bioregion and the Regenerate Cascadia movement.
Regenerate Whidbey is engaged in a deep listening process to answer a vital question: “How can we weave a community response to the Great Unraveling?” This cannot be done by any single organization. Regenerate Whidbey is not just another standalone nonprofit, competing for the same limited resources; it is fundamentally different. It is a shared container for coherence and collaboration. It does not seek to replace what exists... but to provide the context that allows our whole community to "belong to the world as the world belongs to us."
Join us and our speaker, David Haskell, as we visualize a new, regenerative community process on our beloved Island.
Carpool Option! If you pass the Bayview Park & Ride (at Bayview Rd and Hwy 525) at 5:35-5:40 on your way to Langley, please check to see if anyone is heading our way in order to carpool. Every car that stays at Bayview will avoid 8 miles of driving!
Meeting the challenge of climate change in our own community.
