LEARN FROM

More than 120 presenters, including soil scientists and shamanic practitioners, Indigenous elders and restoration ecologists, permaculture designers and policy advocates, mycologists, agro-foresters, filmmakers, economists, and farmers. From the Pacific Northwest and from across the planet.

LEARN ABOUT

A farmer in Kenya regenerating degraded land. A mycologist in Oregon discovering how fungi can clean polluted waterways. An Indigenous elder in Alaska carrying knowledge that civilization desperately needs. A teenager in Brazil planting trees where none have grown for decades.

LEARN WITH

The soil scientist who will change how you think about your backyard. The policy advocate who will give you language for conversations you've been struggling to have. The voice in the dormitory lounge at midnight who says the thing you've been trying to articulate for years.

This is a Community Supported gathering!

The Place We Gather

Fort Worden State Park sits at the northeastern tip of the Olympic Peninsula, where the Strait of Juan de Fuca meets Puget Sound. The 434-acre historic park and conference center includes forests, beaches, open grounds, and a campus of historic buildings — a former military fort slowly reclaimed by community, culture, and nature.

Surrounded by old-growth rainforest, recovering rivers, and one of the world’s most biologically rich inland seas, there is no better classroom for exploring restoration, regeneration, and our relationship with the living Earth.
