We’re happy to announce the publication of Possible Planet: Pathways to a Habitable Future, and the launch of an associated program: Living the Book: Pathways to a Habitable Future—In Action. This is a bioregional program.
We are holding the initial 90-minute dialogues on two Wednesdays, September 9 and 30,2026, from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. Eastern. RVSP here

I will present some slides and facilitate a discussion of the program’s purpose, themes, participation, practical actions, and next steps. Participants will also be invited to share their own regenerative projects and provide updates on an ongoing basis. The goal is to support existing and new initiatives that contribute to the overall health and resilience of the region in the face of ongoing climate and biosphere disruption.
The opening session begins at home—with Elwell Eden—and then expands to the Genesee Finger Lakes bioregion as an example of how household practice, ecological restoration, community learning, and bioregional coordination can reinforce one another. The presentation also introduces the broader program cycle: read, dialogue, act, reflect, and carry the learning forward.
The program overview and the book material on this site provide additional context.
The program will be offered on a gift-economy basis, with a suggested donation of $400 for the year-long series, or $40 a month. Any donation of $40 or more will receive a free paperback copy of the book signed by the author.
Participants will be invited to share about their own projects, hopes, aspirations, and expectations for the coming year.
We welcome collaborations of all kinds with other groups. We are happy to acknowledge the support of Taproot Collective for Elwell Eden, A Frog House for donating a vernal pond kit, the Design School for Regenerating Earth for co-sponsoring the program, and the Ecorestoration Alliance for technical and other support.
