EXPLORE SUMMER 2026 EXPERIENCES

A Broad Educational Foundation

Programs explore how human beings developed the capacities for ecological awareness, cooperation, systems thinking, mentorship, symbolic meaning-making, and long-term continuity across thousands of years, and how these capacities can function as learning foundations within today’s interconnected ecological, social, and economic realities.

Rather than approaching regeneration as a specialized environmental topic, the programs investigate regeneration as a broader developmental challenge involving relationships between knowledge, land, community, identity, governance, learning, and long-term human thriving.

REGENERATION STEWARDS

For university students and emergent mentors ready to carry the regeneration transition forward.

Participants develop the field-skills to read living systems, coordinate groups, navigate across knowledge systems, and apply these capacities to collaborative projects in local communities.

Explore Steward Programs

COMMUNITY PIONEERS

For community members ready to bridge systemic understanding with local, land-based practice.

Participants move through a structured online and experiential learning journey as communities of practice, gaining field-tested tools to lead local regenerative projects.

3 Learning Domains

Nature Connection and Earth Regeneration

Learning to Live Within Living Systems.

This domain begins with direct relationship.
Before systems can be restored, people need to feel, read, and understand the living world they are part of.

Being
Participants start by rebuilding everyday connection with land and place through simple, repeatable practices. Sit spot routines, sensory awareness, and naturalist observation bring attention back to soil, water, weather, plants, animals, and seasonal change. This establishes presence and care as a baseline.

Tracking
From here, learners develop tracking skills. Tracking trains attention, pattern recognition, and humility. It teaches how to read signs, test interpretations, and adjust understanding based on evidence. Mapping, navigation, and landscape awareness help participants locate themselves within ecosystems rather than outside them.

Living
As skills deepen, participants explore how different bioregions shape different cultures, practices, and regenerative strategies. Learning expands from personal awareness into bioregional literacy, showing how land-responsive cultures emerge and why no single solution fits all places.

Toward Mastery
At advanced stages, this domain supports land restoration, regenerative food systems, ecological monitoring, and stewardship practices. Mastery here means being able to work with living systems over time, reading feedback, repairing damage, and contributing to long-term ecological health.

Prosocial Connection and Community Regeneration

Learning to Work Together Across Differences.

This domain focuses on how humans organize, cooperate, and resolve conflict in real communities.

Being
Participants begin by recognizing the diversity of roles, temperaments, and motivations within human groups. Families, teams, and communities thrive when different strengths are understood as complementary rather than competing.

Tracking
Learners study how cooperation evolved, drawing from evolutionary science and long-standing land-based knowledge systems. Attention is given to motivation, status dynamics, reward systems, and aggression, not as moral issues, but as biological and social realities that can be guided rather than denied.

Living
Through group practice, mentoring circles, and shared tasks, participants apply prosocial methods in real situations. Communication tools, agreements, and feedback processes help groups learn how to navigate tension, out-group aggression, and power differences without fragmentation.

Toward Mastery
At advanced levels, this domain supports community governance, partnership systems, and collective action. Mastery means being able to help groups align around shared goals, maintain trust over time, and regenerate social infrastructure that supports long-term projects and intergenerational care.

Universal Connection and Human Regeneration

Learning to Navigate Meaning, Change, and the Unknown.

This domain addresses the deepest layer of regeneration: how humans relate to meaning, purpose, and uncertainty.

Being
Participants begin by noticing how their own sense of identity, purpose, and belonging has been shaped. Attention is given to how people encounter the unknown through experience, story, symbol, and reflection.

Tracking
Learners explore deep human history and key evolutionary moments to better understand core human capacities and challenges. Creation stories and cosmologies are approached as relational systems that orient people within land, community, and time, not as explanations to be proven or dismissed.

Living
Through storytelling, dialogue, and reflection, participants practice holding multiple perspectives without collapse or domination. Elders, mentors, and cross-cultural learning help individuals recognize how personal symbols and shared meaning form, shift, and support community continuity.

Toward Mastery
At advanced stages, this domain supports leadership grounded in humility, responsibility, and long-term vision. Mastery here means helping communities navigate change, grief, uncertainty, and possibility while maintaining coherence and care across generations.
