We empower people to protect and honor Earth’s living systems through education, research, and purposeful community connection.

We deliver dynamic, immersive education programs: including workshops, webinars, and hands-on courses, inspiring individuals and communities to become active stewards of Earth’s living systems. By fostering meaningful connections to Nature and each other, we cultivate the skills, mindsets, and practices necessary to regenerate our shared planet. Our work goes beyond information to create transformational experiences rooted in ecological intelligence, community collaboration, and joyful learning.

🌿 Interactive & Immersive Learning
We blend ancestral wisdom with contemporary ecological practices through engaging formats that deepen understanding and embodiment of living systems.

🎨 Dynamic & Multi-Sensory Presentations
From hands-on garden design to culinary experiences rooted in the seasons, our programming awakens all the senses and makes learning unforgettable.

🌎 Inclusive & Intergenerational Community
We create safe, welcoming spaces for people of all ages and backgrounds to collaborate, share, and grow together.

🌳 Bridging Nature, Design & Daily Life
We weave together diverse disciplines—landscape, permaculture, biology, art, and spirituality—to reconnect people with the self-organizing, self-sustaining systems of soil, plants, water, animals, and humans.

🛠️ Site-Specific & Adaptive Programs
We tailor our approach to meet real-world challenges in local communities, offering grounded, place-based solutions with global relevance.

♻️ Regenerative & Climate-Conscious
Our practices prioritize water and energy conservation, carbon sequestration, and ecological restoration—helping communities both mitigate and adapt to climate change.

🌟 Transformative Learning & Leadership
We support personal and collective transformation, empowering participants to step into leadership as caretakers of Earth and co-creators of a regenerative future.

🌈 Joy & Connection - Through this work, Poly/Ana is seeding a cultural shift—one that reclaims joy, connection, and ecological literacy as everyday practices. With your support, we can expand these offerings to more communities, schools, and changemakers across the region and beyond.

🌎 Expanded Workshops & Outdoor Education
We'll continue growing our beloved, hands-on workshops—covering topics like Hugelkultur, lasagna mulching, water harvesting, conscious foraging, and native plant landscaping—with added focus on fire resilience, climate healing, and localized land care.

🛠️ New Landscape Design Courses
Courses in development include:

• Designing with Fire (through Whole-System Thinking)

• Urbanite Works: Repurposed Materials in Regenerative Design

• Advanced Whole-System Thinking for Landscapes

🌾 Seasonal Garden Tours
We will expand our tour series to showcase regenerative practices in action—highlighting real-world models of fire-resilient, climate-adapted landscapes.

🌼 Community & Gathering Events
We’ll host nature-based social gatherings like:

• Time in the Gathering Garden (expanding to new themes and locations)

• Nature Walk-a-Thon for ecological fundraising and reconnection

• Community Design Days and Organizing Circles to support co-creation

🏡 Long-Term Vision: A Home for Poly/Ana

We envision the creation of a permanent educational center and demonstration site—a place for regeneration, community, and reconnection.

Imagine:

• A vibrant demonstration garden where people learn to co-create with soil, water, fire, and plants

• A native plant nursery cultivating biodiversity and supporting local restoration

• An outdoor classroom and community gathering space for workshops, celebrations, and reflection

• A living, breathing hub that marks the gateway to the regenerating Angeles National Forest—a symbol of healing and renewal after fire
