Regen Civics is an Alliance of global organizations coming together to provide a growing variety of support for communities to build their our own Decentralized Regenerative Bioregional Economies or other Regenerative Civics projects - to take action in addressing our global challenges by opting out of failing systems and experimenting, incubating, and thriving in alternative systems that are crafted by the people, in relationship with Earth.

Each "ReGen Year" we select 13 diverse Regenerative Projects to showcase as we go through their process of establishing their Regenerative project. From pooling resources (fundraising and more) to designing their organization (DAOs, DHOs, DisCo's and more!), financial, economics, governance, conflict-transformation, legal frameworks, land acquisition, envisioning a regenerative future, dreaming up new future possibilities and more as we learn together, build open-source tools, and take direct action in building a more beautiful world. 

This year's emergent theme is "Regenerative Villages" - which are communities coming together in relationship with their local land-based project to co-create a new way to thrive together and meet their shared needs and the needs of the land that they Steward. We'll learn from each-other, share tools, knowledge, resources and more to best help make this transition as joyful as we can. ReGen Civics will open source all learnings and tools from these 13 projects so that any number of other projects may follow along and join the Regenerative Renaissance as we co-create the more beautiful world our hearts know is possible (to paraphrase Charles Eisenstein).
