Recent Special Sessions
May 15-19, 2023 - The Week: A three-part series "To make sense of the defining crisis of our time. To get ready for the defining adventure of our time." This limited session occurred in collaboration with Greaterthan and Permaculture CoLab to to engage the real issues of our rapidly changing climate "for real, with our friends, family or colleagues. It doesn’t tell us what to do, but empowers us to make up our own minds. So that we can say down the line: I knew what I needed to know, I did what I need to do and I have no regrets."
Apr 21, 2023 - Hosting for Regeneration & Change with Raman Frey: Raman Frey is the founder of the event production community GP Dinners (producing over 400 events since 2012). This session focused on hosting as a change strategy - why Raman believes in it, how it works, and what is left to do. Format for this session will be initial Q&A with Dave Witzel followed by questions & discussion with the group.
Mar 1, 2023 - Regeneration and the Wellbeing Economy: In this session, The Wellbeing Economy Alliance (WEALL) Economics and Policy Lead Amanda Janoo discussed her organization's work and how it can complement our struggle for a regenerative world.

May 17, 2022-Feb 21, 2023 - Women in Systems Thinking: This series of events celebrates and acknowledges the important contribution of women in systems thinking.

BlueTech (ocean innovation) startup incubator and community"
"Regeneration Pollination is online networking for fun, short, one-on-one conversations online. Connect with fellow change-makers from around the world.
"North Star Transition creates collaborative initiatives designed to increase the impact of our response to humankind’s climate, biodiversity loss and social crises.
A network of 600+ regenerative projects worldwide connected with supportive communities to provide "not only financial resources, but also... a support system for the projects based on mutual trust and shared knowledge."
Third Horizon Earth is a nonpartisan knowledge and practice platform for regenerative development pioneers to share their work with each other and the world.
