No two places follow the same path. Rather than applying predetermined solutions,
IISLA adapts its approach to the maturity, capabilities, and aspirations of each place.
“Communities remain the authors of their own future. Our role is to help create the conditions in which that future can take shape.”
Over time, these capabilities help communities, institutions, and capital participate together more effectively. Rather than relying on isolated interventions, places become better able to coordinate leadership, enterprise, governance, and investment in service of long-term regeneration.
Harvest Circle® emerged through IISLA’s implementation experience as the framework that brings these capabilities together. It aligns participation, stewardship, governance, collective enterprise, and capital in support of the long-term regeneration of living systems within places.
It provides a shared way for communities, institutions, and funders to participate in the same long-term journey of regeneration.
“Together, small acts of participation can strengthen places over time.”
