The alarming rise in chronic unexplained inflammation and autoimmune disease I have seen in 30+ years of clinical practice has made clear - we must restore the health of our soils if we are to regenerate human and community well-being. Bioregional, community-led, soil-first and regenerative food systems is a critical acupuncture point of transformation. It is key to a thriving commons and our collective future
About the Work
The Pivot.Earth (which I helped co-found) is all about creating community discovery and facilitation experiences which results in action plans to co-design living-soil food systems for regenerative impact that benefits all, no exceptions!  We model, and foster, deep-listening to help uncover individual and organizational values. We then approach core issues through those values revealing critical systems and culture changes the community identifies. Time after time, tapping into individual and group brilliance and stewarding what is uncovered is what glues communities together and drives enduring change. This is what identifies and address barriers and silos. This creates action plans that endure. This is our superpower!
