Bioregioning: How to Thrive Where We Live

Millions of people are searching for a way to live that can meet their needs without undermining the life-support systems of the planet. Although there are no easy solutions to planetary overshoot or quick fixes to the culture behind it, bioregioning offers a deeply positive and systemic way forward. Dr. Lyla June Johnston, Samantha Power, and Brandon Letsinger offer insight and inspiring leadership for thinking and acting bioregionally.

A bioregion is a geographical area defined not by political boundaries, but by ecological systems. This seemingly simple concept – a cohesive unit on the Earth that generates a shared culture derived from natural features (e.g., waterways, plant and animal residents, climate, topography) – provides a foundation for generating a social movement, restoring damaged ecosystems, re-envisioning a healthy economy, and reconnecting people to the places they live. Living bioregionally is fundamentally different from living as a consumer in an economy or as a citizen in a nation.

Please join Lyla June, Samantha, Brandon, and Post Carbon Institute’s Rob Dietz for a free 90-minute live, online conversation to explore:

• How we can adopt and truly embody a bioregional worldview,
• How we can we share the bioregional worldview so that it gains mainstream appeal,
• The practicalities of living bioregionally, and
• Some key ways to make progress toward a bioregional society and culture that can thrive for ages.
