Communicating with Nature
Pam Montgomery
10/21/2022 9:15:00 AM 10/21/2022 10:30:00 AM
At the core of our ecological crisis is our separation from Nature. For millennia we have evolved as a part of Nature. It has only been in the last few hundred years that we have gradually become separated from and more recently gone into a deep amnesia of our inherent belonging with Nature. Join us for a lively discussion on remembering our birthright as a part of Nature and how to reclaim this reciprocal relationship through co-creative partnership.
Climate Restoration – The Only Future That Will Sustain Humanity
Peter Fiekowsky
10/21/2022 9:15:00 AM 10/21/2022 10:30:00 AM
Peter Fiekowsky established the field of Climate Restoration almost ten years ago and his book by that name was published this year. The idea of intentionally leaving our children a climate that humans have actually survived long term is new, and it’s finally gaining attention. Nature has done it and we can too. What is it? Why is it important? How will it be done? What can I do?

No Trees, No Rain
Anastassia Makarieva & Jan Pokorny
10/21/2022 9:15:00 AM 10/21/2022 10:30:00 AM
Join climate scientists Anastassia Makarieva and Andrei Nefiodov of Petersburg Nuclear Physics Institute, botanist Jan Pokorny, and regenerative reporter Hart Hagan for a talk on the importance of plants and water cycles in cooling the planet. Droughts and flash floods are becoming a new normal in our warming world. What changed ? Our landscapes are losing water as people alter the environment, cut trees, drain wetlands, and use chemicals that destroy the soil. And we’re feeling the heat. By learning from nature we can improve the climate where we live. We can learn from plants and trees which provide air conditioning for the Earth. They help drive the water cycle, tame damaging wind and rain storms and even address giant heat islands over the Midwest and forest fires. Climate scientist Anastassia Makarieva (Petersburg Nuclear Physics Institute) and botanist Jan Pokorny (co-author of the New Water Paradigm) will discuss these issues and answer audience questions on October 21 at 12:15 pm ET. Hart Hagan, regenerative podcaster, will be the Moderator. This event is co-hosted by Biodiversity for a Livable Climate and GBH Forum Network. Voices of Water for Climate, a program of Biodiversity for a Livable Climate, co-organized the event.

Reconnect, Reawaken, and Resolve – A Joyous Path Toward Healing Ourselves and our Earth
Susan Eirich
10/21/2022 1:30:00 PM 10/21/2022 2:30:00 PM
The wild animals are lonely for us. We may not realize it but we are lonely for them. We have become disconnected from each other. What if we enlarged our sense of community to truly include all living beings in our thinking and planning? What would be the state of our environment then? Reconnection Ecology offers a path to come back to our true place within an expanded community of all of Life. To solve our ecological and spiritual crises, human consciousness must expand to connect with all Life, with its multitudes of intelligences, and expressions of spirit.

Deference to the Experts – Partnering with Beavers for Water Security and Climate Resiliency
Watershed Restoration, Rehydrating the Landscape
Jakob Shockey
10/21/2022 1:30:00 PM 10/21/2022 2:30:00 PM
This is a discussion about how humans can partner with beavers for habitat resiliency and water security. The plants and animals of the northern hemisphere have co-evolved with beavers managing water for thousands of years. All other life that requires a wetland, stream, river, pond, or lake during their life cycle, evolved to those freshwater systems under beaver management. This long-standing role of beavers as ecosystem engineers is what the fish, frogs, birds, turtles, elk and insects came to expect and rely on—it is little wonder that we see these animals struggling to adapt to the change in management when humans took over. Land under beaver management has value to society as an evolved and resilient ecosystem that sequesters carbon, stores water, reduces the risk from wildfire, and facilitates habitat. This makes our task simple; help restore that complex natural system, and those benefits we value will follow. This deference to a complex, evolved system and its non-human intelligence is a powerful re-framing. Within this frame, the success of our actions can be assessed on whether these efforts resulted in more area under beaver management.

Forest Restoration
David Holmgren
10/21/2022 1:30:00 PM 10/21/2022 2:30:00 PM
In this session, David Holmgren offers a much-needed alternative perspective on invasive species and the best practices for their management based on a holistic, permaculture-inspired framework. Utilizing the latest research and thinking on the changing nature of ecological systems, Holmgren closely examines the factors that are largely missing from the common conceptions of invasive species, including how the colliding effects of climate change, habitat destruction, and changes in land use and management contribute to their proliferation.

Radical Obedience to Natural Law – an indigenous perspective
Indigenous Leadership/Knowledge
Catherine Murupaenga-Ikenn
10/22/2022 9:05:00 AM 10/22/2022 10:30:00 AM
So much environmental and social justice campaigning is focused on hard physical reality issues and world situations. However, ancient indigenous expert technical knowledge (triangulated with relatively new quantum physics and other Western sciences) tells us that the molecular world is a reflection of the underlying metaphysical reality from where all originates, and all is created. Healing the imbalances in our world requires urgent at-scale action at the metaphysical level. Concrete advice will be offered to amplify the utilization of indigenous expert knowledge that continues to be practiced, as well as complementing Faith-based and scientific efforts. The session will also call for greater and more coherent cooperation between all working on the metaphysical healing level – whether indigenous, Faith-based or scientific – including the revitalization and/or formalization of a Wisdom Keepers Global Network.

Walter Jehne
10/22/2022 11:30:00 AM 10/22/2022 1:18:00 PM
This session was recorded at Skalitude resort in WA – via a Zoom call with Michael and Walter broadcast to a permaculture class taking place at that location. We know many of you may have seen it, but we’re guessing many haven’t – so we’re including it here! It was such an amazing and informative session that we’ve included it here. While Walter was unable to join us personally, this is widely regarded by our following as one of the most informative and coherent explications he’s given of the phenomenon of the biotic pump, the natural hydrological cycle, and climate regulation. Please enjoy!!

Agroforestry
Colin Sternagel
10/22/2022 11:35:00 AM 10/22/2022 1:00:00 PM
There are many devices on the market for the purpose of milling wood into dimensional lumber. They range in the many of thousands of dollars to $100. For many small projects of leaving the wood in the round is not desired then this simple method allows you to use just your chainsaw to cut a log in half or a flat on one edge.

Thriving ecosystems addressing climate issues – Hemp and Humanity
Alicia Fall
10/22/2022 1:05:00 PM 10/22/2022 2:30:00 PM
Hemp and Humanity Hemp Education & Cultural Center Longhouse Communities. Native American reconciliation with the United States, ecological restoration of our broken ecosystems, and real social justice are inseparable. Modern society is disconnected from other life on the planet and is built on a human first narrative that replaced thousands of years of Native wisdom. As our fragile ecosystems collapse around us, Native philosophies have the potential to share a new type of thinking that is needed by modern society to understand and respect nature and other life forms. To do this Indigenous people must be given the opportunity to come back to the landscapes and regions and share wisdom, history, and vision for a better future. We’re out of time! Without this, our collective approach to addressing social justice and the climate crisis will be flawed and ineffective. Founded by Alicia Fall (Eastern Band Tsalagi/Cuban Taino), Her Many Voices Foundation is an Indigenous led, holacracy managed nonprofit, providing education and resources concerning issues around women, children and Mother Earth, since 2009. Alicia will speak on the history of hemp and a Hemp Longhouse Community project, designed to promote the development of green businesses and jobs for Indigenous and BPOC women by acquiring land on which we will create Hemp Education & Cultural Center Longhouse Communities. We’re using hemp to advance sustainable agricultural practices and train Indigenous and BPOC women to participate in the hemp industry. We do this to create climate resilience, while addressing social, political, and economic equity in the industry.

Earth Repair activities in Kazakhstan, Central Asia and Russia, and an introduction to a Declaration On Actions to Preserve the Biosphere- the Global Ecosystem of the Earth. We call for declaring the task of preserving the Biosphere – the global ecosystem of the Earth – an urgent and common task of all humanity, all countries, regardless of their relations and differences. To transform existing management models for this purpose and create, on the basis of current fragmentary programs, a global system for the conservation of the Biosphere – with the direct participation of all humans, all peoples of the planet.
Restoration of Natural Water Cycles and Climate – Act locally, think globally
Zuska Mulkerin, Michal Kravčík
Watershed Restoration, Rehydrating the Landscape
10/24/2022 8:30:00 AM 10/24/2022 9:55:00 AM
Co-hosting with Zuzka Mulkerin -Water management policies worldwide are typically based on the principle of what can be termed the “old water paradigm”. The result is a drying up of ecosystems. The recent historic drought in Europe (and other parts of the world) point to the fact that the situation is dire. As of October 4 of this year, the U.S. drought monitor warned that almost 50% of the U.S. territory was in drought. Climate restoration of the small water cycles of regional landscapes would reverse this situation and increase the biodiversity and production potential on all continents. This presentation will discuss how to work towards the goal of decreasing floods, drought, natural disasters, and other undesirable climate changes.

Geo-biomimicry – Restoring the metabolism of our living planet
Communicating with Nature
Rob de Laet
10/24/2022 8:30:00 AM 10/24/2022 9:55:00 AM
THE EARTH IS ALIVE! We are a tiny, recent species as part of the living planet and we are disrupting her organs and metabolism with our destructive behavior and cancerous growth. Modern humans behave together like cancer in a body, attacking both the living being we are born from and part of and with that our own future. We need to reconnect and learn from and work with nature to understand how to enjoy the abundance that is given to us as a gift, in stead of destroying her health. We need a Copernican shift of our own role within that carefully woven web of life, designed over many millions of years of evolution to create the conditions beneficial to life. This body of the living planet is nurturing us every minute! We need a new story to save the future of our species: a story that tells us we are part of a society of millions of species that cooperate for the wellbeing of the living planet and thus ourselves. We need to find our benign role within this majestic being. The Earth is alive, has senses, has a slumbering consciousness. Is our species the experiment of evolution to wake up the self-consciousness of our planet through inflicted pain and planet wide connected technology and activity? Will we wake up to the role she has in store for us? Will we cure her fever, we call climate change, before it destroys us?

The importance of water in anthropogenic climate change may have been overlooked by many, despite its unique thermal properties. Understanding phase transitions of water in the ecosystem will continue to be critical in understanding and resisting tipping points as they occur. This project will monitor Earth Observation Satellite data in visual and near infrared bands for soil moisture, plant cover, and temperature, in order to verify and track the results of environmental restoration efforts.

TALK: Daniel Mello-Mattos – Climate Design
This session will be in English with Spanish and Portuguese translation. Climate Design is about taking responsibility for our societal doings, for our way to do things on earth and climate, which is actually Design, but now in a more proper way. Take consciousness on the path we are choosing to, deliberately or not, manage the planet, the climate, the soil and all the integrated consequences to society. Climate Design is, therefore, a socio-environmental technology that leads to diagnose and design continents and atmospheric circulation relationship.

Further her insight into a useful approach to adopt to scale and potentialize the movement and connect across sectors and movements.
TALK #2: Igor Louboff – Creating bridges between cities and rural areas The world’s population should reach approximately 10 billion by 2050, with 7 people out of 10 living in cities. As we desert rural areas, a series of imbalances emerge. First, soil artificialisation has a direct impact on biodiversity, which decreases as urban infrastructure increases. Second, humans become increasingly dependent on energy consumption to maintain their lifestyle (importing from distant lands all their food, energy and material needs). Finally, this process comes with a progressive decline in the collective understanding of our deep connection with nature, and the subsequent loss of the skills and knowledge attached to this understanding. La Coop des Territoires is a local cooperative which has been working over the past 3 years to create bridges between cities and a rural area in Normandy, France. Since then, over 50 people have settled in nearby villages, working on projects aimed at taking better care of the earth, its biodiversity and its inhabitants, one hectare and one person at a time. In this presentation, we’ll explain how these bridges operate and we’ll present a few projects the cooperative has initiated.
