During this formative period for the Institute for Earth Regenerative Studies, located in the Pacific Cascadia Bioregion, we explore our roots and blossom. We currently offer transdisciplinary programs with many engaging events at the intersection of creativity and innovation, earth restoration and permaculture, and the living wisdom traditions. If you want to study and learn from Nature, awakening your internal capacities and insights, nurturing wholeness, we have something to offer you.

May 2018 - Matricultures Talk and Deasophy Workshop - May 18 + 19, 2018 in Portland with Max Dashú and the Suppressed Histories Archive

Public Lecture - Max Dashu - "Matricultures" - May 18, 2018 - 7p to 9:30p at the Multnomah Friends Meeting House ~ Egalitarian matrilineal / matrilocal cultures show a way of being human outside the paradigm of domination. Not a mirror image of patriarchy, but a totally different way of life, in which the life support matrix is the highest good. Societies like these falsify the doctrine that domination is universal and unavoidable. History sibyl Max Dashu draws on her 48 years of research on mother-right in this richly expanded visual talk.
