The 45th annual E.F. Schumacher Lecture will be given on Saturday, November 22, at 3 pm EST, by Samantha Power and Tyler Wakefield, Co-Founders of The BioFi Project, a leading “think-and-do tank” dedicated to novel finance infrastructures and strategies to support bioregional economies.
The Biofi Project collaborates with bioregional organizing teams across the Americas—from the Amazon Headwaters to Salmon Nation—to prototype a new generation of financial institutions rooted in place, reciprocity, and planetary repair.
Samantha Power is a regenerative economist, systems futurist, and bioregionalist who co-authored the book Bioregional Financing Facilities: Reimagining Finance to Regenerate Our Planet. Her work focuses on building a new layer of global financial architecture: place-based institutions designed to serve rapid, radical regeneration. For over a decade, Samantha has pursued one central question: “How do we change where money flows so it supports, rather than destroys, life?”
Tyler Wakefield co-stewards the Biofi Project, and is a fellow at The Nectary, an ongoing series of extended residential research and teaching gatherings aimed at restoring our human capacity for intimacy, cooperation, and interdependence with the broader web of Life.
The lecture will be given at St. James Place, 352 Main Street, in Great Barrington, Massachusetts. Following the presentation, Schumacher Center board member Alex Forrester, cofounder of Rising Tide Capital, will host a conversation around “The Promise of Bioregional Economies."
You can register for attending the lecture in-person here. Ticket prices range from $5 to $100, based on one’s ability to pay. A video recording will be shared via the Schumacher Center’s eNewsletter shortly after the event.
