Biospheric Benestrophe | Fall 2025

Описание: A benestrophe is the opposite of a catastrophe — a transformational blessing in the life-support systems that keep us alive. 🌍💧

In “Biospheric Benestrophe,” forest ecologist Chris Searles, founder & director of BioIntegrity, shares his ecological operating model for drought relief, wildfire prevention, rainmaking with trees, and restoring biosphere Earth to optimal, wild function. Drawing on NASA’s “Earth breathing” imagery, tropical forest science, and his own field projects (Garnet Fire 2025, Oregon 2024, Hays County 2025), Chris explains how biospheres (life-support systems) and “tissue intelligence” circulate moisture, create stability, and generate their own greater good — when we let them stay wild and deeply hydrated.

You’ll learn:
• What a biosphere is and why other life = our life support system
• Why diversity + integration are the real security in nature
• How tropical forests and forest moisture circulation help set planetary climate
• How Deep Rehydration and strategic watering of big trees can raise humidity, calm storms, and help end fire seasons early
• Simple, practical ways to start watering trees where you live and participate in biospheric benestrophes
