2022 Cascadia NW: Equinox in Pictures

With COVID, this was our first festival since 2019, and brought hundreds of folks out to Sedro-Woolley for a weekend of arts, music and fun. The entire purpose was to reconnect, gather and rekindle energy for hosting a full scale 2023 CascadiaNW festival. This year was also made possible with generous support of Arts WA, the Washington Chamber of Commerce and WA Festival Association.

Using A Social Justice Lens to Examine Our Work in the Department of Bioregion

The purpose of this lens is to provide a framework to guide what we do as Diplomats within the Department of Bioregion. Whether the work is posting a blog, creating a project, or leading a round table discussion, it is vital that we are examining that work with a social justice lens. It provides a common language to communicate about our work and ensures we are moving beyond short-term, immediate reaction to long term, thoughtful changes. 

New Cascadia Membership Designs Are Here!

New Cascadia Membership Designs Are Here!

We love Cascadia, believe in bioregionalism as a philosophy to save our region and planet, and are tired of the craziness and insanity that has become commonplace in our world today. We want to be able to directly impact the issues that we care about, and so those living on this planet can have a real life and livelihood better than our own, rather than worse.

Our New Diplomat Departments Forming for 2020

As we enter into 2020, our Cascadian Diplomats are organizing themselves into six different core departments they have deemed to be the highest priority for building the Cascadia movement, the independence of the Cascadia Bioregion, building a network of bioregional movements around the world, and improve the well being and liveability of our bioregion.
