Connection & Regeneration Education
for the 22nd Century

OUR WORLD

can thrive into the next century
if we build effective education foundations for connected and regenerative economic systems

Thriving Futures 2100 is a visionary education project dedicated to cultivating connected, regenerative communities of practice that are relevant today and fit for the 22nd century. Connected and regenerative education is the mastery of the scientific, universal, and organizational principles needed to manage economies as living systems, where prosocial potential and agency drive systemic health.

Our mission is realized through the Global Care Packs (GCP) learning programs—immersive experiences designed to master the practice of regenerative economics. This practice is built upon our common evolved capacities and the purposeful integration of our nature, prosocial, and universal connection potentials.

The goal of these programs is to transition toward regenerative economic systems. The learning journey tracks and navigates economic systems from our common economic source of evolved capacities and attributes through our 10,000-year history of convergent and divergent economic streams to the present day.

Through a blend of academic and experiential practices, students and mentors work together to bridge deep historical insights with hands-on action. By mastering these regenerative competencies within a community, we prepare participants to navigate toward a thriving 22nd century.

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 Hold 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.

Programs for Youth

7-9 Year Olds

Connect and Thrive Inspiration

Pathfinders invites younger learners into the journey through simple daily routines at home and on the land, supported by sit spot and playful practice. The focus is inspiration, so children notice, name, and share what they find, while the compass keeps attention on nature connection, prosocial storytelling, and first questions about the wider unknown. Programs run across seven school locations worldwide and use the book’s Experiential and Narrative Tracking Paths to link practice with purpose and with the River System of Human Time story.

10-12 Year Olds

Connect and Thrive Focus

Bridgebuilders develops teamwork and shared responsibility as learners deepen skills in shelter, water, fire, and food, focus group habits, and learn to plan together in mentoring circles. The compass frames prosocial learning with clear agreements and community tasks, and the narrative path introduces regenerative stream economies so students connect daily practice with local care and simple economic choices. Sites operate in coordinated global locations, with Elders and partners guiding Two-Eyed Seeing across the three learning domains.

13-15 Year Olds

Connect and Thrive Transformation

Wayfinders turns skills and focus into design and reflection, so crews take on real projects, study thresholds of disconnection, and practice connected community methods. Learners work across the three domains while exploring the River System of Human Time, source-evolved capacities, and the Anthropocene, with rites of passage style challenges sized to place. The aim is transformation through coordinated land work, intercultural dialogue, and systems thinking that ties story to action.

16-18 Year Olds

Connect and Thrive Mastery

The high school program consolidates mastery across Nature, Prosocial, and Universal domains, with advanced projects in restoration and regenerative design, participatory governance and storytelling, and cross-cultural inquiry and futures planning. Students read local and regional systems, plan with partners, and take on stewardship roles that prepare them for connected regenerative economies and leadership beyond school. The Seven Directions Compass and the two linked paths keep work aligned across sites and seasons.
