Okanogan Local Earth Repair Gathering – June 22
This was the first local Earth repair gathering which was sparked by the Global Earth Repair Conference. We expect to see many other local Earth Repair events this year including Lummi Island and Leavenworth in Washington. Organize one in your town or county! Contact us about collaboration.
The People Who Gathered Discussed Topics of Communal Interest:
- Food Security
- A Healthy Planet and Communities
- Regenerative Agriculture practices
- Youth & Community Involvement
- Making a Difference
This is a gathering to discuss local action in Earth regeneration and repair, and regaining food sovereignty in our community. We want to hear your ideas in this hands on workshop. There will be guest speakers announced on our Local Earth Repair Facebook event page.
Sandy Vaughn and Jerushah Ramos introduced some key points and takeaways from the Global Earth Repair Conference, and then everyone broke into groups to discuss multiple facets of the regeneration efforts ahead, including local action plans, and changing the relationship we have with Earth.
We left this meeting with a solid commitment and plan for a local project, and an ever expanding circle of community support for these necessary works. This will hopefully be the first of many such gatherings.
