Rainmaking with Trees Masterclass

Ready to get your hands dirty and really understand how trees can bring rain? Join us in person for a fun, interactive masterclass where we dive into the science, magic, and methods of nature’s own rainmakers: Trees and Forests. This event is for anyone keen to learn and connect on this new way of helping the whole world.

Hi, I'm Chris Searles, inventor of Rainmaking with Trees and founder of BioIntegrity Partnerships. In this event I plan on teaching exactly how to do Rainmaking with Trees, step by step. This event is for anyone seriously interested in learning exactly what I've been doing since 2021 to help bring rainfall to droughted landscapes.

Content

I'll give you my story, relevant science, key principles, and exact techniques for Rainmaking with Trees in a 30 to 45 minute lecture with Q&A.

Then the group will walk the site and choose which trees to water.

Then we'll do the whole process, from A to Z. I will explain and demonstrate each technique and ask you to try each technique, too. We'll follow that with a silent observation activity and group discussion co-led by special guest Lara Stonesefier.

My lecture, Paradigm Shift, explains how I came to understand forests as moisture circulation units with reliable rainmaking powers — physically, scientifically, biologically, and relationally, and how to work with that to maximize landscape wellbeing.

Takeaways

By 1:00 P.M. you'll know how to do Rainmaking with Trees, and we will provide printed copies of my lecture's key ideas, plus journaling space for notes and jots.

Setting

Lotus Bend Sanctuary has a beautiful, shady campus. We plan on doing everything outdoors, mostly in the shade. Please bring your own camping chairs, yoga mats, etc., to sit on as much as you like throughout the morning. We'll also have outdoor chairs available if you need one.

What to Wear

Dress for being outside and getting slightly wet from time to time, especially on footwear. Work is not strenuous, but we will be on our feet most of the time.

• Parking is free.
• We will provide coffee, water, and cups.
