Bioregional pasts and futures - Karie Crisp & Daniel Wahl in conversation

This conversation was lost on my old hard drive and I just found it again. On July 27th, 2023, I had the opportunity to speak with Karie Crisp about her doctoral research on integral bioregional development and her involvement in the Planet Drum Foundations 50th anniversary celebrations last year, including and up-date of their online resources. About Karie: Karie Crisp Vazquez spent a decade working on corporate sustainability initiatives in food, product supply chains, and women’s economic empowerment. In 2018, she stepped away from that field and began a learning journey to understand the lineage of human thought that brought the Earth community to ecological imbalance. Through that experience she discovered the bioregional movement and began a PhD program at California Institute of Integral Studies to research the subject. Karie holds a BA in Sociology from the University of North Carolina-Asheville and has an MBA in Sustainable Business Management from Presidio Graduate School. She lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with her family and is dedicated to impacting deep structural change and instigating ecological culture. Resources: https://planetdrum.org
