Kris Fade
Inspired by regenerative farming practices that bring to life the true character of a distinct site, Kris shepherds some of the nation’s first Biodynamic(R) certified Mencia, Godello, and Albarino–fantastic additions to the diverse portfolio that Oregon’s terroir has to offer. After studying Applied Biodyamics in New Zealand, she co-founded Analemma Wines in 2010 and found her home and heart in the Mosier Hills of the Columbia Gorge. Kris is dedicated to a vision of diversified farming and defines herself by a deep connection to the land and community she is cultivating.

I’ve been involved with bioregional counter-cultural and permacultural activity since 1974. In 1976 I was a lead organizer of a bioregional gathering intended to establish a regional federation of cooperatives. I’m the fc0-ounder and program director of the Dharmalaya Center in Eugene, the Director of the PROUT Institute (proutinstitute.org), and the primary instructor for Transformation Education (https://transformation-education.teachable.com/). A primary hat I wear is that of an ordained meditation teacher in the yogic tradition. I’ve authored four books on new paradigm political theory, including “Transformation to a New Era.” I lectured extensively internationally as well as giving many webinars. In 1993 I was invited by the Governor of the Russian Far East state of Khabarovsk to draft a development plan based on the post-capitalist social philosophy, PROUT. I was the lead organizer for three regional permaculture gatherings in the early 2000s. Dharmalaya, where I live is a model of sustinable living. Dharmalaya has held many trainings, including a summer program called “Community Transformations” that gave participants an integrated vision of regenerative communities. Dharmalaya is in the heart of the “River Road permaculture zone” in Eugene and has involved in many permaculture and regenerative community initiatives and gatherings.

I am a migrant to Cascadia from New England, and have made my home here, first as a front-line transit worker, but now as a personal trainer and nutrition coach. My focus is equitable strength and nutrition for my community and those at the margins.
