Co-learning Before Covid-19 with 2019 Residents in the Showangunk Mountains

Strawberry season will soon become blueberry season and mulberries are dropping by the bucketfuls. Our residents are entering their second month of Place Corps' self directed residency; they have been steadily developing a native pollinator garden, water catchment system, and improved edible landscape on campus. 

We are incredibly excited to share that we are in the process of reviewing applicants for the 2021 Place Corps Regenerative Design Fellowship. We will continue to do so on a rolling basis until all positions are filled. Place Corps is celebrating its one year birthday and we are so thrilled to welcome our next cohort, knowing from this year's experience that we are capable of great adaptability and responsiveness to what emerges.

We are in a moment of great change and great loss, but also great opportunity to actively re-make and re-imagine our future. Our leaders and change-makers need the tools and practical skills that will enable them to persist in the movement for sustainable, intersectional change. The Regenerative Design Fellowship is designed to be interdisciplinary, responsive, and collaborative; it offers skills, tools, and experience in praxis that encourages active critical thinkers who create the change we need and the courage to explore alternative ways of being. As Dawn Breeze, educational director, writes: “Place Corps disrupts ideas of where work begins and ends and instead replaces the construction of work with the ontology of being; that living is work and work is living. Our greatest work will be our life.”

If you have felt called to action and don't know where to begin or where to end, the Place Corps Regenerative Design Fellowship offers support and guidance to develop resilience and deep care practices to take care, [un]learn, and continue to be the change we need in our places. We look forward to reviewing incoming applications; if you have any questions, please reach out to us at info@placecorps.org.
 

"Practice: Move towards spaces that value us,
let ourselves belong to those
communities that know they want us,
know they need us, know we have worth,
know we deserve more than transactional care."
