Our vision for this year in the Design School for Regenerating Earth is to GET REAL about the intensifying patterns of social and ecological breakdown -- as we come together with people from all over the world to regenerate the Earth.

This video is me walking through the area showing how I have dug the first five retention ponds and how this slows erosion, builds soils, stabilizes the native seed germination, and helps clean the water during a heavy rain.

We are excited to share our vision for where we are going in the Design School in 2026. It has been an annual tradition for Penny and me to go into the desert landscapes of Utah in December for deep Earth connection — and to come out with clarity and vision for the new year.

Our flagship project for all the work in Barichara throughout the last five years has been this -- Origen del Agua. We bought this land with crowdfunding in 2020.

I still advocate for moving beyond the techno-reductionism of carbon markets. They don't work and we can do so much better with holistic approaches to regenerative finance.
