We come from the best possible future. A time and place where humans live the dream of earth in sinergy.
We come from the dream of several people
engaged deeply in changing different living
systems: From diverse fields of work such as
biodiversity restoration and conservation,
education, economy and finance. The magic
started in Costa Rica when changemakers
Eduard Muller, John Fullerton and Stuart
Cowan met in person to catalyze action
grounded in the territories or bioregions
where they worked and informed by their
knowledge and capabilities. The Regenerative
Communities Network (RCN) was launched
on October 6th, 2018.
A Network seemed to be the best way to
build place-based regeneration (watershed-
by-watershed) across the planet, just as
Nature would do it: from the bottom up. Our
connectivity started to bring together
regenerators engaged in many bioregions
around the world, especially in LatinAmerica.
We had the first official global in-person
meeting in 2019 when 26 bioregions came
together in Michoacan, Mexico. There, with
the magical power of monarch butterflies as a
keystone migrant species, we had the
beautiful experience of finding a tribe with
whom to weave regeneration around the
world.
There, at the top of the butterfly reserve, we
took the time to reconnect with Nature in
silence, together, and the mountain opened
our hearts. We all had peak experience at
one point when we opened our eyes and saw
that we were totally embedded in clouds. By
the end, the sun was shining on us.
Topics started to pop up as part of the
amazing collaboration process we
experienced there. Education, Finance,
Inner Evolution and Regenerative Narrative
were some of the main ones.Â
Since then, we started experimenting with
what it is like to behave as a living organism:
Self-organizing in working groups, creating
resilience, feedback loops and holding spaces
to reconnect ourselves to our own natural
regeneration. There have been many
challenges, as expected, but we have been
able to manage them because we had
experienced the magic of Nature when we
were together and we have a common
purpose of system regeneration for thriving
lives. Being in nature together, in a place of
power really helped ground our common
principles for the creation of this powerful
network.
