It was inspiring to see the diversity and quality of people from all over Cascadia that attended this session.
The primary focus of this first call was to get a measure of what participants are looking for in this BBLJ. It seems that primarily, people are curious and are wanting to connect with others who share similar interests, especially locally.
At the end of the meeting, Brandon invited people in various locations to meet for coffee or a walk or, in order to inspire greater on-the -ground connection. The locations that were named are: Port Townsend; Victoria; Seattle; Spokane/Upper Columbia

We would love to encourage you to post updates here on the Regenerate Cascadia website (under Topics —> Birthing BLJ) and in the Design School (under the Bioregional Learning Exchange) about the work you are doing locally, as well ideas and initiatives you would like to see or lead. Please reach out to Brandon Letsinger or Clare Attwell if you have any questions.
Here is the recording.
