Place-based regeneration

Regenerate Skagit

A living experiment in regeneration—rooted in the Skagit Valley—where land, water, and people organize together for persistence, reciprocity, and right livelihood.

The question we live inside

Does the system around us support life’s persistence—or its own? We practice designs that answer with regeneration.

  • Life persists through relationship
  • Land organizes people
  • Care becomes culture
🌱

Regeneration

Moving beyond sustainability toward systems that restore soils, waters, communities, and livelihoods.

🌊

Skagit Valley

An alluvial floodplain shaped by rivers, salmon, seed, and seasonal rhythms— asking for stewardship at a human scale.

🤝

Reciprocity

A culture of mutual aid where needs and gifts meet, strengthening the whole through interdependence.

🛠️

Right livelihood

Work that feeds people, land, and meaning—reducing isolation and overwhelm through shared purpose.

The Reciprocity Exchange

A simple structure for making care visible. Participants share what they need and what they can offer, allowing relationships to do the matching.

  • “I need help with…”
  • “I have this to offer…”
  • Connections form through trust, not transactions

Examples

  • Farm labor ↔ childcare
  • Tool access ↔ repair skills
  • Seed saving ↔ land access

The goal is not efficiency. The goal is resilience.

How land organizes us

Rivers meander, floodplains renew, salmon return, logs jam and release. These patterns teach coordination without central control.

Human systems can learn from this—favoring feedback, diversity, and regeneration over extraction.

From isolation to interdependence

Clean food, a place to live, meaningful work, and community are not separate problems. They are one system asking to be redesigned together.
