Between April and May 2025, we took the first step of the Regen Pathway in Florianópolis, Brazil. And it was a powerful beginning, an experience that not only opened the year’s journey but became a turning point for our community and for the broader regenerative network in Latin America.

‍

Together with AgroforestDAO and Erik Miki, we co-created a one-month regenerative residency in Ipê City, a place surrounded by the Atlantic Forest, the ocean, and the vibrant Brazilian culture that embraced us.
We lived in a beautiful house, just steps from the water. It became our ReGen Haus: a home, a lab, and a meeting point.

‍

Over 30 days, more than 250 people passed through our activations. Between mate, açaí, shared meals, hikes, governance sessions, hands-on soil work, and inspiring conversations, we found ourselves returning again and again to a central question:

What does a regenerative culture look like when technology, territory, and community live under one roof?

A Living Lab for Regeneration

‍

At the heart of this experience was the ReGen Haus, a coliving/coworking space that functioned as a living lab for reflection, design, and practice.

The program combined hands-on agroforestry explorations, together with the agronomy faculty of Florianópolis, bioregional walks, regenerative cooking sessions, planting activities, and seed-exchange rituals, alongside strategic sessions on Web3, decentralized governance, and cosmolocal systems.

This integration was essential. It allowed us to demonstrate that technology only gains meaning when it is rooted in real practices, real communities, and living territories.

Twelve Gatherings That Drew a Path

‍

The program included twelve gatherings connected through a shared narrative of learning and co-creation.

‍

We began with a welcome circle at the ReGen Haus—an intimate space to reflect on decentralization, purpose, and community.

Sessions with AgroforestDAO opened deep conversations about rooted societies and how agroforestry economies can become civilizational infrastructure.

Our visit to SAF Cambucá at UFSC offered a sensory immersion into syntropic agroecology—reminding us that nature is an unmatched teacher in systemic design.

ReGen Day was a technological milestone, where tools like Allo IRL, Quadratic Funding, and RetroPGF were applied to real conversations and concrete projects.

Prototyping spaces—facilitated both by NetX State and AgroforestDAO—allowed us to imagine and begin sketching regenerative governance architectures and cosmolocal alliances.

The bioregional walk, the tapioca workshop, the seed-exchange gathering, and the ceremonial planting of ipê trees added the cultural, spiritual, and sensory layers that sustain any authentic regenerative process.

‍

Each activity, however different, planted a seed for the emergence of a Latin American regenerative culture.

‍

Alliances That Became Community

‍

Ipê City confirmed something we had been sensing: emergent institutions already exist, but they look nothing like the institutions of the old world.

‍
They are born in community homes, colivings, pop-up cities—spaces where people come together to experiment with new ways of living, collaborating, and deciding.

‍

This month strengthened our relationships with organizations we now consider part of the same vision:
AgroforestDAO, Ipê City, Founder Haus, Weever/Valocracy, Lit Collective, and Tools for the Commons.

These alliances didn’t emerge from formal meetings, they were shaped while cooking, planting, walking, designing, and talking for hours. That trust became the invisible infrastructure for everything ahead.

Ipê City Was the First Activation of the Regen Pathway 2025, next came Edge City Patagonia, in San Martín de los Andes.
If Ipê City showed us what a community feels like as it begins to regenerate, Edge City showed us how that community takes shape on the ground. We tell you all about it in the next note!

Regen Pathway 2026

‍

With everything we learned this year, we are now designing the Regen Pathway 2026.
This new journey will include more pop-up cities, on-the-ground residencies, Regen Hubs, and ReFi (Regenerative Finance) labs. At every gathering point, we want to meet the community that has been walking this path with us.

‍

If you want to participate in the next stages, you can support this work.

You can contribute to the Regen Pathway 2026, helping us fund scholarships and make new activations possible.
