Cultivating Bioregional Resilience Through Connection
Weaving relationships between self, nature, and others to create integrated solutions for a regenerative Cascadia.
Learn MoreTending the Social Soils of Cascadia
Weaving Ways cultivates ecosystems of bioregional resilience and regeneration by tending the social soils – the relationships within and between social sector leaders – and by building the collective capacity for integrated innovations, funding opportunities, and coherent collective action in service of future generations.
Our work is deeply rooted in nature-centered practices that help leaders reconnect with themselves, the natural world, and each other. Through this reconnection, we foster developmental networks of social sector leaders within subregional life sheds and cross-pollinate learning across the Cascadia bioregion.
Our ApproachFour Pillars of Transformation
Our approach synthesizes four complementary methodologies that foster both inner transformation and outer innovation – the essential ingredients for lasting systems change.
Awareness-Based Systems Change
Drawing from the Presencing Institute's "U Process," we move from downloading past patterns to sensing emerging futures, connecting to the deepest source from which future possibilities emerge.
Soulcrafting & Wilderness Rites
Incorporating practices from Animas Valley Institute that facilitate encounters with the natural world as mirrors for personal transformation, helping leaders access their deeper purpose and authentic gifts.
Co-Active Coaching & Leadership
Employing the Co-Active approach that holds people as naturally creative, resourceful, and whole, focusing on transformation through powerful questions, intuition, and designing environments for growth.
Accelerated Solutions Environment
