I do wonder if Cascadia is the only bioregion that is really easy to delineate though? Has anyone done this for other bioregions? Every time I see info on the web about bioregions, it's always about Cascadia. Also I mentioned the idea of bioregions to a fellow trade-unionist the other day, and he wanted to know how they would differ from nation-states? Would they still go to war over the fuzzy boundaries between bioregions? Would they have flags and armies? (I hope not, but it's a valid question and I didn't know the answer.)

Many times when I learn a new way to do or perceive something, there's a moment of frustration where I think about the time I wasted doing things the old way. But then I just remind myself that I was where I was before, and I am where I am now, and which one I'm actually capable of changing. Chas S. Clifton--Oooh, that's a good resource. I've only been in Oregon a bit shy of two years, and am still learning about the bioregional layer of existence here, but there are a bunch of questions in that quiz that are good leads to find out more. Thanks! Perspective Shift Chris–Oh, I understand the frustration.

Clifton Wed, 27 May 2009 14:47:06 +0000 http://therioshamanism.com/?p=252#comment-1224 When I taught nature writing, I always made my students do the old Co-Evolution Magazine "Where You At?" bioregional quiz as their "semester-long take-home test." One student <a href="http://natureblog.blogspot.com/2008/02/things-about-where-i-live.html" rel="nofollow">responded on what was then the class blog here</a>. It was always fun to see how they handled it.

I've never actually heard of "bioregionalism" but it seems like a very interesting area of study. Just the different perspective in views as it applies to your physical location can have profound affects on how we view life in general. I never realized how little I acknowledged this. It's a blessing to have read this but it's almost frustrating to realize that as much as I try to stay open and mindful, looking past all of the physical stuff and digging deeper, I never actually considered that my location was anything but the city, town, state, or building I was located. I was more so stuck to the view of being, as in, I am where I am. Looking at it like this definitely does set off some alarms and I realize now that these underlying connections from the self to the environment are much more readily to unveil than were before. The connections you made between this and Shamanistic practices were very good too. Great post, I appreciate it :) I can also relate to the school thing. I'm not in Grad School right now but in my second year of undergrad. It's definitely time consuming so I could only imagine. Keep up the good work! This is a very interesting post.
