What would it look like, feel like, taste like, smell like, and sound like to have an economy that is firmly rooted in the health of our soil, community care, and transformative justice? How can we move away from an extractive economy and build regenerative communities?
These are just some of the questions we aim to make visible, explore, and bring to life as a network and community during our year's first ReGenerative Communities Design Lab(RCDL) meeting!
We had such a great conversation during the Interdependence Day Event, and many of you wanted to extend the conversation further! Let's unleash our collective genius and imagination across the regions. Let's share our knowledge and resources to build a better world. We will also continue hosting more design lab events in the future, so be on the lookout!

The newest episode of the ReGeneration Nation Podcast is out!
In this fourth episode, we explore gifted kid burnout themes within the world of environmentalism and eco-activism. If you were THAT kid recycling paper at 8 years old or starting a recycling club that collected bottles during your school lunches, you're going to want to tune in. Hear more about Madeline's journey in overcoming perfectionism, the mental health struggles that came along with it, and navigating burnout in recovery. Madeline shares how her role in the regenerative communities movement has given credence to living a life full of joy, healing, and radical self-love as well as acceptance.
