I am excited to help co-coordinate "Regenerate Whatcom," which includes Bellingham and the Nooksack watershed. Regenerate Whatcon is beginning as a project of Transition Whatcom and Sustainable Bellingham. Feel free to contact us - transitionwhatcom at gmail dot com I live in Washington state and consider myself a social permaculturist (exploring “invisible structures”), and am involved with the Transition Initiative movement as a co-initiator of Transition Whatcom. Transition Training in 2008 from the original UK Trainers Sophy Banks and Naresh Giangrande, and Permaculture Design Certificate earned at Inspiration Farm (where I lived for about a year and a half), 2009. I have a particular interest in what I call Integral Permaculture, as well as PatternDynamics (TM) (informed by both Integral theory and Permaculture) as a facilitator of the PatternDynamics workshop I was excited to organize Joe Brewer's visit to Bellingham and Whatcom County in 2019, and am excited to to see the Bioregionalism Activation tour in 2023!
