Launch of Systemic Cycles Weaving Guide training

So we took off! The first Systemic Cycles Weaving Guide training cohort met at the heart of the Venice Lagoon at Camping Ca’Savio, the official Systemic Cycles location partner, to learn, map, intervene, and weave toward desired regenerative futures.

Venice, why to go there? It is for sure known to be a fascinating live museum of medieval architecture and art. Venice is the lagoon, and the lagoon is Venice. A sensitive, threatened wetland ecosystem.

Venice’s backyard is less known, but not less interesting. The bioregion unfolds the hidden gems of the wild river Tagliamento and the Magredi plane, the confluence zone of Cellina and Meduna River in the western part of the Friuli. North towards the hillside is the home of famous Grappa-Distillers and of the vineyards, sports- and footwear, leather, furniture, machinery and knife industry, and a famous bike brand, Campagnolo.

Visiting the Venice Lagoon has a double meaning for us: the bioregion is also known as an over-tourism hotspot, and a place suffering from deep ecosystem disruption and climate change. Thinking and acting together toward unpacking density and unwinding complexity of human activities was one of our Systemic Cycles Weaving Guide quests.
Our conscious exploration of bioregional land use, economic supply chains and cultural narratives by kayak, boat and bike was meant to open up new horizons and build new sustainability transitions and regeneration tools for the SC Weaving Guide trainees and the future Systemic Cycles trips in their bioregions.
