In February 2024, the Territorial Foundations movement of Colombia decided to design and implement a Territorial Regeneration Fund. This fund is part of a collective bet as a movement to generate new paradigms of transformation in the country.Our geography to organize is “North Andean” in size with a focus on watersheds and ecosystems that exist among the movements of water in holistic hydrological systems. Water connects all living beings, including humanity, in all our territories. All territories have shared issues such as the need to convert industrial agriculture to regenerative models and the same for tourism, food security, wellbeing, and so forth.Community

Launch Event :: Bioregional Funding EcosystemsWe are excited to announce the kick-off of a process to design and build bioregional funding ecosystems. In partnership with the Legacy Project, the Design School for Regenerating Earth is hosting an in person gathering of people who are actively organizing around this work.The launch event will take place from September 24th thru 28th in the Greater Tkaronto Bioregion.Penny Heiple and I are working closely with Brian Puppa and Susan Bosak to create this gathering — which builds directly upon our previous collaboration led by the Legacy Project with the 7-Generation Bioregional Earth Summit that took place in February.

Dreaming of the Ogallala :: The Third DayOn our third day, I began to dream of a $100 million dollar fund to #RegenerateTheOgallala…In the morning we drove across 8000 acres of sand dunes covered in grass. This natural geologic feature absorbs 100% of the rain that falls onto it to recharge the aquifer that is below the two hundred feet of sandy soil on this part of the land.I could feel how people on the Great Plains need to understand how important this groundwater supply is. The feeling became more clear as we walked barefoot in the Canadian River that is more sand

Earlier this year, I shared that we are designing a regeneration fund for the Northern Andes. It is an ambitious effort growing out of the movement of territorial foundations in Colombia that is spearheaded by the support organization Territoria based in Bogota.We are excited to announce that we are receiving our first significant grant of $150,000 to catalyze this fund into being. Our focus will be to prototype a bioregional funding ecosystem that spans several distinct territories of the Northern Andes that are all based in Colombia.As you can see in the map below, there are local efforts to establish territorial

We have just received a generous grant from the NoVo Foundation to support our work at Regenerate Barichara — where we are prototyping the regeneration of an entire territory in the Northern Andes of Colombia.As we have outlined on our website, there is a weaving of regenerative processes at the territorial scale that has been underway for several years. now. This is depicted graphically below and explained in greater detail here.The important thing to have in mind is that we organize around the natural organizing patterns of landscapes with watersheds and ecological corridors. In this way, we have created portfolios of projects that

Last Thursday we had a very special work day in Bogota with members of Territoria, Paisano, Azai Consultores, and our new foundation Barichara Regenerativa to design a regeneration fund for the Northern Andes. This grew out of a powerful gathering that took place in Putumayo a few weeks ago for the Movement of Territorial Foundations in Colombia.Our purpose was as simple as it is ambitious — to create a Northern Andes regeneration fund focusing on the restoration of hydrological systems (watersheds and precipitation patterns) while restoring ecological connectivity for biological corridors across the entire country of Colombia.Current locations in Colombia where territorial

By Ted Rau for Enlivening Edge Magazine [Enlivenning Edge is happy to be an affiliate ecosystem partner recommending this conference.] Let’s play good news and bad news. The good news is that I’m seeing more and more self-management and trust-ful and leader-ful organizations emerge, or traditional organizations that include more patterns of shared responsibility. What’s the bad news? I’m worried. I’m worried because I think the movement has significant gaps. Let me explain. Every organization consists of team-level and organization-level functions. (See, for example the Viable Systems Model) The team level functions do the major work of the organization— producing

This article is an invitation into the Design School for Regenerating Earth.People all over the world are gathering to learn how to restore landscapes, collaborate to achieve systemic outcomes, and work together in service to safeguarding our planetary future.When I wrote The Design Pathway for Regenerating Earth, it was to show that it really is possible to do this at the necessary scales. We can organize ourselves around holistic, integrated landscapes known as bioregions. Create prosocial groups that know how to work toward shared goals. And weave across features of landscapes to collaborate at continental and planetary scales.https://medium.com/media/03ea951aec929d1ecf25c9b1e659f499/hrefBack in 2020,

Ashes to ashes. Dust to dust. We all become compost — but who among us feeds regeneration for the Earth?We are all at risk with the Coronavirus. It cannot be contained at this point in time — though there is still much that can be done to slow its spread with social distancing and quarantines to avoid overwhelming our health care systems. The fact of the matter is (a) all of us are pretty likely to catch it; and (b) some of us will not survive.My question in this essay is “What if there was a mechanism for regenerating the Earth that could make these deaths
