Ceremonial Myth-Making for Bioregional Regeneration

So what is there to do from the ashes of an old world?

But to have the courage to call forth a dawn anew

REGENESIIS is an immersive ritual theatre offering that weaves together ceremony, myth, and movement in service to cultural transformation and ecological renewal in the Cascadian bioregion.

Through collective prayer, visionary storytelling, expressive movement, breathwork, and live multimedia performance, REGENESIIS invites communities into a shared act of myth-making—envisioning, embodying, and co-weaving a more beautiful world into form.

This 90-minute experience is both architected and emergent. Participants are gently guided through a living landscape of sound, movement, and ceremony—co-creating a collective prayer for Earth.

Rooted in both ancient and contemporary ritual technologies, REGENESIIS bridges the sacred and the creative, offering a multisensory rite that grounds hope, vision, and aligned action.

Cultural & Ecological Relevance

Cascadia is a place of vast ecological intelligence and cultural diversity, standing now at a pivotal threshold. While restoration efforts strengthen ecosystems, food systems, and economies, the soul of the region calls for cultural renewal.

Without story, ritual, and myth, ecological repair cannot root in lasting ways. REGENESIIS answers this call—tending to the narrative, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of regeneration.

  • Cultivate emotional engagement and mythic resonance around regeneration.

  • Generate mythic content to ripple outward through media and memory.

  • Strengthen kinship with more-than-human worlds through embodied ritual.
