The Global Care Packs
Community Programs

A learning pathway for community builders who want to cultivate regenerative communities and guide place-based learning.

The Community learning pathway prepares adults to guide regenerative learning and community practice using the Connect and Thrive framework.

Community Program Structure

Participants begin with shared foundational courses that combine online learning, experiential practice, and community dialogue. These courses introduce the River System of Human Time, the Seven Directions Compass, and the practical skills needed to cultivate cooperation, ecological awareness, and regenerative thinking.

Learning unfolds through a progression of courses that integrate online study, experiential gatherings, and collaborative community practice.

The Free Online Introduction Course

Discover the ideas, people, and learning pathways behind Thriving Futures 2100 and Global Care Packs through a short introduction that combines storytelling, practical awareness skills, and a simple experiential activity.

Meet the initiating team, explore the foundations of the narrative and experiential learning paths, and take your first steps into a learning journey focused on thriving and regenerative futures.

Regenerative Online Communities

The Convergent Regenerative Community Cohorts are ongoing small-group learning communities exploring regeneration transitions through shared inquiry, experiential practice, systems thinking, and narrative learning. Participants meet weekly in cohorts of approximately 6–8 people, creating long-term continuity, meaningful dialogue, and collaborative learning relationships across diverse cultural and geographic contexts.

Rather than functioning as conventional online classes, the cohorts operate as participatory learning communities where members gradually develop shared language, practices, relationships, and collaborative understanding over time. The emphasis is placed on thoughtful participation, reflective dialogue, practical application, and the integration of learning within participants’ own communities, landscapes, and life experiences.

Optional additional weekly English support sessions are available for B2+ international participants wishing to strengthen conversational English, systems vocabulary, reflective communication, and collaborative dialogue within the context of regeneration education and international community learning.

The cohorts follow both experiential and narrative learning pathways. The narrative pathway explores frameworks including the River System of Human Time, the Seven Direction Compass, regeneration transitions, ecological literacy, systems awareness, identity, community, and long-term human thriving. The experiential pathway invites participants to engage direct practices within their own local environments through observation, mapping, reflective wandering, ecological awareness, journaling, tracking, mentorship, and place-based inquiry between meetings.

The cohorts also provide ongoing continuity for participants joining residential programs, stewardship intensives, and experiential courses, allowing learning relationships and collaborative inquiry to continue long after place-based gatherings conclude. Over time, participants may move into stewardship pathways, facilitation roles, collaborative projects, mentorship positions, and future residential learning experiences.
