Ecoversities West Coast Bioregional Gathering


  • Crockett, CA, 94525 United States (map)

Build community, resilience, and regenerative solutions—together.

  • Join us for a hands-on weekend of regenerative design, natural building, and community-rooted creativity as we explore what it takes to co-create resilient towns and bioregions rooted in care, relationship, and ecological wisdom.

    This weekend we will engage in the design process: we won’t be building any permanent structures just yet. Instead, we’ll take time to listen to the land, engage in collective visioning, and root our ideas in thoughtful, regenerative planning.

    With guidance from natural builder Brennan Blazer Bird, we’ll also learn how to make cob and get some hands-on practice working with it to build small-scale models of a local resilience hub and a model of what a regenerative town would look like. We will explore how eco-toilets, water flow, communal gathering spaces, and natural systems interact.

    Alongside this hands-on work, partners from Cultivating Self, the Alameda Native History Project, Ecoversities, and the California Doughnut Economics Coalition, Solution Craft, the Cosmic Labyrinth, Be A Solution, House of Joy, and Rising Lotus Reiki will weave together food as medicine, cultural healing, systems thinking, and place-based wisdom.

    We'll connect with a local environmental education nonprofit, and contribute through a short, hands-on ecorestoration activity, a meaningful way to give back to the land that’s hosting us.
