What we’re about
Capital District Earth Repair Meetup is a monthly gathering for people interested in reimagining our relationships with the Earth and each other. We explore topics like ecological gardening, community food systems, composting, degrowth, mutual aid, and regenerative design—drawing from frameworks such as permaculture, agroecology, ecological design, and bioregional thinking.
Some meetups are guided by a facilitator; others unfold as open discussions shaped by those who attend. Everyone is welcome to bring short readings, questions, ideas, or propose topics—we value dialogue over dogma, and co-creation over consumption.
We recognize that true ecological renewal is inseparable from social transformation. Healing land and community requires challenging extractive systems, supporting justice, and rebuilding community interdependence.
This is a collaborative, non-hierarchical space for shared learning, curiosity, and mutual support. We reject guru-led models and embrace diverse voices, seasonal rhythms, and participatory decision-making.

Rich will give a quick tour of Radix, explain the systems present which include various different examples of sustainable technologies and regenerative systems (agroforestry, organic gardening, renewable tech, bioshelter, aquaculture, etc.) Then there will be an option to stay and hang out, lend a hand, and volunteer a little bit and participate in the process.
The mission of the Radix Center is to promote ecological literacy and environmental stewardship through educational programs based around demonstrations of sustainable technologies. At the Radix Center, we believe it is possible to meet human needs while simultaneously restoring ecosystems. Good environmental stewardship is rewarded by better health, wholesome food, and strong communities. The Radix Center teaches practical skills that can be applied to create environmental and economic sustainability. An emphasis is placed on issues of food security, health, and the remediation of contaminated soils.
