Langley, WA, May 16, 2022 — Latitude Regenerative Real Estate, a leading real estate company dedicated to transforming the way we inhabit the planet, is thrilled to announce the 2023 Regenerative Real Estate Gathering, their second annual event in collaboration with The Ecology School and River Bend Farm.

The Gathering aims to bring together like-minded visionaries and regenerative practitioners to learn from inspiring leaders and engage in nourishing conversations. This event is designed to create an inclusive environment that welcomes both seasoned experts and newcomers in the field.

From August 29 to September 1, 2023, a community of leaders will convene in Saco, Maine, to explore the theme "From Ownership to Stewardship: Embodying a Stewardship Stance Towards Self, People, and Place." The four-day event will be held at River Bend Farm, providing accommodation at a Living Building nestled in a serene forest and farm setting. Attendees will enjoy three daily organic meals and a wide range of activities including yoga, movement, dance, swimming, bonfires, open play, as well as inspiring speakers and panel discussions. To ensure accessibility for underrepresented communities within the Regenerative Real Estate space, LATITUDE is also offering scholarships to participate.

Alissa Collins, Chair of the 2023 Regenerative Real Estate Gathering, states,

"The Gathering serves as a revitalizing and energizing anchor for culture creators and change makers in the real estate industry that are implementing regenerative approaches. It provides an opportunity for individuals to connect, build the field, and explore possibilities for collaboration."

The Gathering will feature keynote speeches from renowned experts in the field, Ifeoma Ebo and Ian McSweeney. Ifeoma Ebo, Principal of Creative Urban Alchemy, will deliver a talk on "Regenerative Place Keeping." With her extensive experience as an Urban Designer & Strategist, Ifeoma has a proven 20-year track record in transforming urban spaces into platforms for equity and design excellence. Her speech will delve into the inclusive design process, drawing inspiration from the history and culture of communities.

Ian McSweeney, whose life work is focused on Farmland Ownership, Tenure, and Equity innovation and creation, will present "A New Story for Land Access." Ian specializes in supporting communities through farmland conservation and providing direct assistance and support to transform and transition farmland ownership for farmers, nonprofits, and other conservation, agricultural, and community organizations. His keynote will explore sustainable agriculture, farmland conservation, and the partnerships necessary for successfully transitioning farmland to the next generation.

The partnership with The Ecology School holds significant importance for the event's guests.
