Weaving ways is a pioneering program dedicated to cultivating ecosystems of bioregional resilience and regeneration across the Cascadia region of western North America.

We focus on nurturing the "social soil" – the relationships within and between social sector leaders – and building collective capacity for cross-sector integration, stacked funding innovations, and collective co-action in service of future generations.

Our approach is uniquely grounded in nature-centered ways of reconnecting with self, nature, and others. Through awareness-based, transformative leadership development and curated, cross-sector collaborations, we create the conditions for genuine systemic change and regenerative impact. Our work draws inspiration from the awareness-based systems change methodology of the Presencing Institute, the Soulcrafting and wilderness rites of passage work of the Animas Valley Institute, the coaching and leadership models of Co-Active from the Coaching Training Institute, and the collaborative frameworks from Capgemini's Accelerated Solutions Environment.

With well established partnerships with key regional organizations including: Paper Whale, Water Wars, City of Bellingham, Sustainable Connections, Wander Wild, and organizations engaged in local food systems and regenerative agriculture, we are strategically positioned to pilot our innovative model in Whatcom and Skagit counties over the next 24 months. Our goal is to expand this work in context-specific ways, to 20 regions across the Cascadia bioregion over the next decade.
