Gary Foresman
Permaculture designer and mostly residential landscape construction in that field for about ten years with a passion for most all things water: Rainwater harvesting, greywater systems, natural building and earth works, irrigation systems…
I have added interest in local politics, community building and art, and food and water resiliency.
Azoulas Yurashunas
I am the environmental coordinator for Havenroot, a campground and event venue in Veneta, OR. I manage a 219 acre forest that surrounds a stretch of a perennial creek, which is among the headwaters of the Long Tom River. Myself and my associates are attempting to democratically self-govern a community that is founded on the stewardship of the land.

Perry Lovelace
I am dedicated to the sustainability of our sacred water resource. Rising communities’ with syntropic focus have to be created because the old 3D system of separation are collapsing.

4th generation Tacoma area resident. Active in outdoor recreation. Looking for community projects as I transition to retirement.
Robert Bunge
4th generation in the Tacoma area dating back to the 1880s. Teaching information technology at North Seattle College. In the past couple years I got very interested in metamodern/integral/liminal thinking. Work closely online with figures such as Lene Rachel Andersen, Gregg Henriques, Brendan Graham Dempsey, and Brandon Norgaard. Robin Lincoln Wood mentioned this organization in the context of his Regenovation project. My interest in Regenerate Cascadia is a global thinking to local action move.
Will Monk
I’m Will, I’m always hungry, (and after 36 years i finally got an insulin pump, so yes, i can eat that), i sing (deep) bass, I’m a big (cishetwm) sissy, y yo quiero apprendar Español. I got a studio art BA, from (the school formerly known as) HSU, (far north California) which included theater, dance, music, Native American Studies, math and physics, various activist projects, and a lot of problems with my (T1D) diabetes.
I quickly realized that i had no idea how to use any of that to survive, and began working with children, construction, event staffing, etc.
Examples:
-TAing animation classes for kids at Berkeley City College,
-Tutoring junior high math and art
-“Street Outreach” team helping houseless people with Cooperation Humboldt (as well as planting free mini gardens etc)
-Currently hosting and teaching art and other open free creative classes with the Arcata Playhouse’s OurSpace Arts program
My favorite thing is probably storytelling (very broadly defined), I’m addicted to analogies, and my superpower is my ability to remain genuinely enthusiastic in a conversation about absolutely anything for way too long. My natal chart is a basketfull of dichotomies and tidal waves and I’ve been procrastinating whatever lesson that Yod has to teach me for far too long! I’m as liberal as you can get and I’d love to be your “ally” (or at least your humble “white savior”). I want to teach everyone and their kids how to do art, music, animation, etc on FLOSS. I can’t fix your computer or write a program, but I’ll happily model my neurodivergence in trying to figure it out together. Or better yet, help you plan/t a free little potato garden!
I’m probably the equivalent of a paralegal on the subject of federal disability discrimination, (APWU UNION YES), and probably an honorary MD on hyperlipotrophy, the Somogyi effect, catecholamine burnout as Hypoglycemia Unawareness, counterregulatory responses, the resulting autonomic failure, hyperimmune “diseases” like lupus, and ptsd.
WARNING: My next hobby rabbit hole is learning to ID native and invasive plants and their relationships to us. Unless I get distracted by the beautiful Phidippus genus…
