GRC Spotlight:
Cassandra Goodmansen
Location: Philedelphia, USA - North American Bioregion
How did you come to regenerative work?
Cassandra came to the regenerative world through a project with the Nez Perce Tribe in north-central Idaho. "It really took me from being interested in ecology and climate change... and sustainability, but then [made me] realize I needed something more." She now works in designing urban gardens and landscapes for people to cultivate and breathe regeneration instead of merely reduce their damage on our environment.
What is regeneration to you?
"Nature works... I know this for a fact." Cassandra returns to the ways our ecosystems heal, grow, branch and increase in complexity when she considers regeneration. She reflects"seeing natural systems be used in human systems made me feel so much better... like there's a path forward."
What's next? There's a big divide between theory and practice. "We can have world-changing ideas, but nobody does anything with it." To channel this frustration, she's currently working on a project to transform the yard of a nearby county jail into a pollinator and permaculture garden for inmates, among other projects in urban design for Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
Check out Kevin Richard’s new framework (codename Ocean20) to help organisations and teams navigate complex ecosystems, developed over the past few months with colleagues Daiana and Krasi: the framework uses metaphors which interconnect and help draw a map of realities & possibilities, and highlight relationships to foster new narratives.
The Regen Economics group is interested in exploring more around Donut Economics. Check out more about our conversation groups if you want to learn more!

Until we can once again meet in person, let us get to know each other better online. During these one-hour "drop-in" sessions, we'll organize random, one-on-one video chats so you can meet new people, discover new networks and projects, trade ideas, start relationships and generally strengthen the community making our regenerative future a reality. Please share with your networks, interested connections, and regenerative friends. #RegenPollination
